Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This research has been undertaken to ascertain the extent of the effects in making Malay language as the national language. The effects concern the continued flourishing or the eventral demise of the minor languages especially the Tamil language in Malaysia. The focus of this study is to trace the situations and the contributions of various parties in strengthening the continued use of the Tamil language. The study undertaken is descriptive in nature and it employs observation and reflection to reach a final conclusion. Information will therefore be gathered through observation, study of relevant literature on the subject and through personal interviews with relevant authorities in the field. To achieve comprehensiveness, the researcher will attempt to penetrate and understand each and every recommendation contained in the National Language Policy which includes The Barnes Report (1950), Fenn-Wu Report (1951), Razak Report (1956) and Rahman Talib Report (1960). The above will be done in detail. This investigation will also look into all problems encountered by the Tamil language. Any objection or support in connection with the recommendations will also be thoroughly analysed in a rational manner. The researcher will also investigate the contributions and role of the various M.I.C. (Malaysian Indian Congres) leaders, NGO’s, The Indian Studies Department of University Malaya and the various Teachers Training Colleges in the fight to continue with the usage of the Tamil language in this country. Lastly, the researcher will also reflect on some of the problems faced in the implementation of all past recommendations, by advocating new recommendations. This is to ensure that the Tamil language will continue to thrive and develop even further through the Malaysian Education System in the future.
