Don’t Speak a Non-English Language at the airport

Speaking a language that is not English is now grounds for you to

get detained at the Airport. A person was forced to miss his flight

because he was speaking in Tamil, a language spoken by 74 million

people, in to his Cellphone.

The person was later released after telling officials that he would

make sure not to speak a non-english language at an Airport in the

future. I feel safer already.

Here is a sample of the Tamil language:

ஆசிரியர் வகுப்பறையுள் நுழைந்தார்.
அவர் உள்ளே நுழைந்தவுடன் மாணவர்கள் எழுந்தனர்.
வளவன் மட்டும் தன் அருகில் நின்றுகொண்டிருந்த 
மாணவி கனிமொழியுடன் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தான்.
நான் அவனை எச்சரித்தேன்.

aasiriyar vakuppaRaiyuL nuzhainthaar.
avar uLLE nuzhainthavudan maaNavarkaL ezhunthanar.
vaLavan mattum than arukil ninRu kondiruntha 
maaNavi kanimozhiyudan pEsik kondirunthaan.
naan avanai echarithEn.

Translation:

 

The teacher entered the classroom.
As soon as he entered, the students got up.
Only Valavan was talking to Kanimozhi who was 
standing next to him.
I warned him.
