The name Kongu is said to refer to honey, although it is not possible to etymologically connect this meaning to the name of the region. Etymology seems to point at Ganga as the source for the name. Gangeya Kaangeyam and Ganganadu are alternative historical names for the Kongu region. The speciality of Kongu Tamil is the use of the alveolar R instead of retroflex T D of standard tamil. For example ennuDaya mine of standard Tamil is pronounced enRa in the Kongu dialect. Additionally the use of guttural nasal 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 to end a word like vaang , means come expressed in a respectful tone, which in standard Tamil would be vaanga .
