Brahmin Tamil (Tamil: பிராமண தமிழ்) is the name for the Sanskritized version of Tamil traditionally spoken by Tamil Brahmins. The dialect largely uses Classical Tamil and a large variety of Sanskrit words. According to linguist V. Balasubramaniam Brahmin Tamil dialect is closest to the Central Tamil dialect particularly the variant used by Vellalars and Mudaliyars.
