Sponsored By: Representative Krishnamoorthi, Raja [D-IL-8]

Introduced

Summary

Would designate January as Tamil Language and Heritage Month and recognize that Tamil Americans enhance the cultural diversity of the United States. This resolution would highlight Tamil’s more than 2,600-year classical history, archaeological finds at Keeladi pointing to urban life in the 3rd century BCE, Tamil’s status as an official language in three countries and a global community of over 80 million speakers, about 360,000 of whom live in the United States, the mid‑January Pongal harvest festival, and classic Tamil literary works translated into more than 100 languages.
