The native Jains of the Tamil land are called Samanar. Since time immemorial, they have shown deep devotion and affection for the Tamil language and their contribution to all aspects of Tamil is inestimable.

In addition to making original contributions in Tamil, they have also brought in valuable literary and ethical works from outside and presented lofty ethical ideals in concise verses. They have gifted the script to the Tamil language.

Jains have produced masterpieces, written great grammatical works to safeguard Tamil & to maintain its purity, intrinsic value, identity, great classical tradition, antiquity & glory. They have laid a sound grammatical basis on which the Tamil language has evolved over the years.
