It is originally known as "Kangee"`[1] or "Kongalam"[2] or "Kongappechu or Kongu bashai". EtymologyThe name Kongu etymologically means 'border' in Sangam Tamil. Alternative theories seems to point at 'Ganga' as the source for the name. Gangeya (Kaangeyam) and Ganganadu are alternative historical names for the Kongu region.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} VariationsThe speciality of Kongu Tamil is the use of the alveolar ற - Tra/Dra (as in the English word track) instead of retroflex T/D (ட) of standard Tamil. For example, 'ennuDaya' (mine) of standard Tamil is pronounced enRa in the Kongu dialect. However, only Coimbatore district people use this. Additionally the use of guttural nasal (ங்) that sounds "ng" as in the English word Gang, is more prevalent in Kongu Tamil, leading to situations where the grammar of Kongu Tamil would not fit into the grammar of standard Tamil (as laid down in authoritative treatises like Tolkappiyam and Nannool). One of the examples is the use of ங் to end a word like வாங் "vaang", means 'come' expressed in a respectful tone, which in standard Tamil would be "vaanga".Also this is observed in the Kangayam,Dharapuram area.Both these are stereotyping Kongalam with regional,professional variations. Kongu Tamil also uses certain Tamil words that are unique to Kongu region and are not used in standard Tamil. Areas spokenThe Tamil dialect is heavily influenced by Kongu dialect in Coimbatore district, Tirupur district, Erode district, Karur district, Namakkal district and Salem district and in other parts of Kongu Nadu region districts: Nilgiris district, Dharmapuri district, Krishnagiri district and Dindigul district.
