Aahaan is a culturally-inspired toy programming language created by Indian developer Mavin Sandeep. Designed primarily for Tamil-speaking beginners, Aahaan integrates iconic phrases from Tamil cinema into its syntax, making programming more engaging and accessible to native speakers.

The language uses Tanglish (Tamil + English) syntax and runs via a lightweight Python-based interpreter. Aahaan is targeted at students, educators, and hobbyists who are either new to programming or interested in exploring culturally flavored esoteric programming languages.

Overview

Aahaan is an interpreted language with a `.ahn` file extension. Its syntax mimics conversational Tamil expressions, especially from popular Tamil movies. For example, the keyword `vechutten` is used to declare variables, while `ennaachu` is used for output.

Syntax

Aahaan features simple syntax for common programming tasks. Below is an example:

vechutten x = 5
vechutten y = 10
vechutten z = x + y
ennaachu z

Common keywords include:

vechutten – Declare variable
ennaachu – Print to console
kelu – Input from user
irundhaachu – Conditional (if)
illana – Else
vandhacha – While loop
kaatuda – Function declaration
odi – Return statement

Features

Tanglish syntax (Tamil-English hybrid)
Easy-to-read keywords inspired by Tamil movie dialogue
Built-in functions (`max`, `pow`, etc.)
Simple command-line interface
Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Example Programs

Max of Two Numbers

vechutten a = 5
vechutten b = 7
vechutten maxval = max(a, b)
ennaachu "Max is:"
ennaachu maxval

Age Check

kelu "Enter your age: "
vechutten age = _

irundhaachu (age >= 18) {
  ennaachu "Eligible"
} illana {
  ennaachu "Too young"
}

Development

The Aahaan interpreter is written in Python and distributed as an open-source project under the MIT License. The project is hosted on GitHub and encourages community involvement.

Reception

As of 2025, Aahaan is actively promoted through GitHub and social platforms. It has gained attention for its educational use in regional programming workshops and cultural coding experiments.
