Tiruchirappalli is an ancient city of South India and it was the capital of Chola and Naicka kings for many centuries. The battle between the British and the French with the help of locals marked the beginnings of the British Raj in the southern part of India. As in the rest of Tamil Nadu, Tamil is the native language of Tiruchirappalli. However, unlike the thick accents of Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore or Tirunelveli, the Tamil accent of Tiruchirappalli is considered neutral. Tiruchirappalli is home to the Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha, the organisation responsible for the growth of Hindi in Southern India. However, as in the rest of Tamil Nadu, English is far more likely understood by locals than Hindi.
