Scarborough Tamil Dialect
Frequent use of the word "enna" ("என்ன"; pronounced as 'eney' or 'eneh') to emphasize statements is the characteristic of the Scarborough Tamil dialect. Apart from that, the Scarborough Tamil dialect has the base of Jaffna Tamil superimposed with Canadian English as well as words borrowed from the popular cultural influence of South Indian Tamil films.
Examples: எங்களின்ர பிள்ளையளுக்கு கிறீஸ்மஸ் கொலிடேய்ஸ் எண்டால் ஹெப்பிதான்... என்ன?
நாங்கள் நல்லாய் செலவழிச்சுத்தான் பார்ர்ட்டி வைக்கிறது... என்ன!
