this sentence in the article: "stops were voiceless when at the start of a word and unvoiced otherwise" makes no sense; unvoiced and voiceless are synonymous. it should either read "stops were voiced when at the start of a word and unvoiced otherwise" or it should read "stops were voiceless when at the start of a word and voiced otherwise". I want to fix it, but which one should I choose? -Lethe | Talk
I removed the potentially useful sentence. I can't fix it, and I know it's wrong, so I removed it. When someone comes along who can fix it, it should go back in the article -Lethe | Talk 05:35, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Lethe. [1] tells that stops were voiceless when at the start of a word and sometimes voiced otherwise. I'll change it. -- Sundar 05:53, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
I believe that the tamil alphabet#Borrowed consonants section is in error.
The characters displayed in the Consonant column are identical to those displayed in the first five rows of the Vowel column of the tamil alphabet#Vowels. I have reviewed the content at Omniglot and verified that there are other characters used for the Grantha consonants, however I have not as yet discovered the appropriate Unicode character IDs. They appear not to be in the table for Tamil. curiosity1 06:27, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I just took this image out of the article on the Tamil language, because the information is redundant with this article. However, I think the chart is worthy of preserving. Maybe it can be put in Tamil alphabet somewhere?
It might also be nice if it were converted back into HTML...

Actually it is harder to get a font having all glyphs for scientific transliteration that to get one for Tamil itself. Try Junicode or TITUS Cyberbit Basic. --Pjacobi 21:41, 2005 Apr 14 (UTC)
I came across an article by Airavatham Mahadevan suggesting a link with the Indus script. Perhaps we could use this information. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:34, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
Dear surfers,
I feel the numbering system followed by ancient tamils using tamil alphabets will add more value to this encyclopedia. Can any one please add such informations. I am looking for a complete information.
I apolgise for my mistaken revert. I intended to revert this other edit which I thought was removal of useful information. The edit I erroneously reverted has been restored by this edit (thanks @Largoplazo:). Recent evidence does point to an earlier date, but I wouldn't add that without supporting refs. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:33, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
