| == Etymology and history ==
| |
| The 24 Manai Telugu Chettiar people migrated into Tamil Nadu from Andhra Pradesh during Vijayanagara empire period. They are considered to be the decendants of Kasi King Pritheeshwar and have ruled 24 parts of chola region .After the migration into Tamil Nadu, they underwent various cultural diversities, met difficulties in the patterns of linguistic assimilation, adjustment and other adaptive processes. Bilingualism (Telugu and Tamil) was found tedious among the immigrant households (successive generation children). Most of them failed to speak Telugu language at home and gained proficiency in Tamil.
