You got it all wrong!
I never said that I'm proud of Tamil and Sanskrit for "big number better than small number". No, I also like English much more than these languages mostly because it achieves far better effect with only 120 root words.
If you ask me, I'm proud of Sanskrit for being the mother of all languages, especially Indo-Aryan Group of Languages. This group includes most of European languages and Hindi as well. The spritual tests (the oldest known) Vedas are another reason to be proud of Sanskrit.

I never said nor mean to infer you did. I was commenting to, and referring to @south_korea_ln observation from his colleague:
But he says it appeals to the nationalistic nature of people to claim it contains several millions of words
I know well what Sanskrit can boast of, hence my comment on why I consider dumb to fabricate unnecessary and rather childish "merits".
