As a global and social phenomenon, migration encircles a range of movements initiated by individuals or groups of people from one geographical location to another. From securing lives to receiving better employment opportunities, migrations have instrumented several changes. This research paper discusses the effect of Tamil migrations to Bangalore, influencing Tamil to become one of the predominant languages spoken in the city's marketplaces. The focal point of this exploration emerged from a series of conversations I got exposed to within a marketplace, where the vendors and consumers were heard speaking in Tamil rather than interacting in the state's official language, Kannada. The study has utilized a qualitative approach, using interviews as the primary method for data collection. It involved asking open-ended questions to converse with the vendors. I selected this particular method to understand the vendor's opinions on the language change in the city and the phenomena they have experienced. Using the theories of language change as the primary theoretical framework, the findings indicate that although Tamil remains dominant in the interactions with their fellow vendors, nonetheless, through their engagement with their consumers, they consider the markets as multilingual and multicultural spaces. Through the sensory approach, this paper aims to create a new scope for researchers in academicians in Sociolinguistics, South Asian Studies, and Urban Studies within the Indian subcontinent.
