TAMIL


Contents

General

Language summary

(Information based on Ethnologue, 2010-02-25)

  • ISO 639-3 code: tam
  • Population: 61,500,000 in India (1997). Population total all countries: 65,675,200.
  • Also spoken in: Malaysia (Peninsular), Mauritius, Réunion, Singapore, Sri Lanka
  • Alternate names: Damulian, Tamal, Tamalsan, Tambul, Tamili
  • Dialects: Adi Dravida, Aiyar, Aiyangar, Arava, Burgandi, Kongar, Madrasi, Madurai, Pattapu Bhasha, Tamil, Sri Lanka Tamil, Malaya Tamil, Burma Tamil, South Africa Tamil, Tigalu, Harijan, Sanketi, Hebbar, Mandyam Brahmin, Secunderabad Brahmin. (See Ethnologue for notes.)
  • Classification: Dravidian, Southern, Tamil-Kannada, Tamil-Kodagu, Tamil-Malayalam, Tamil

In addition, there is diglossia between Literary Tamil (centamil /centamiẓ/) and the various spoken dialects (kotuntamil /koṭuntamiẓ/). Spoken Tamil varies widely with geography and caste. To a certain extent there has arisen a "Standard Spoken Tamil" used by educated people from different regions when they come together, but this is not really standardized.

Linguistic notes

There is only one noun declension, with eight cases and two numbers (singular and plural), all marked by endings. Postpositions are also used. There are two genders, "rational" and "irrational" (roughly, ±human); the rational gender is subdivided into honorific, masculine, and feminine.

Verbs are inflected for person, number, gender (third person only), mood, and tense.

Writing

Tamil is written in a Brahmi-derived script. See also Encoding and Fonts.

Encoding and Fonts

Before the development and general use of Unicode, computer use of Tamil and other South Asian languages required special fonts using only one byte. Many websites used such fonts, often with idiosyncratic encodings. Some still do, including some listed on this page, and many corpora still use such fonts, and so we list some resources for other encodings, as well as fonts and encoding conversion.

Encodings

The International Forum for Information Technology in Tamil (INFITT), a non-governmental organization that appears to have the support of the state of Tamil Nadu as well as the various other countries with large Tamil speaking populations, decided at the TAMIL INTERNET 2001 conference to recommend that software make use of the Unicode encoding, but that where an 8-bit encoding is necessary, either the TAB or TISCII encoding be used.

Unicode

The Unicode range for Tamil is 0B80-0BFF. The Unicode encoding is based on the ISCII Standard. (Unicode Standard, v5.2, p.290)

Other standard encodings

Nonstandard and idiosyncratic encodings

These pages are on a weblog which is no longer maintained as of 2011-05-03, although the pages are still up. They are summarized in this wiki at Tamil/Nonstandard encodings.

  • Nonstandard fonts (there called "Very Special Scheme Fonts")
  • Idiosyncratic fonts (there called "Odd Scheme Fonts"): “I couldnt categorise following set of fonts into one category. Each of them follow totally new type of coding scheme.”

Fonts

Resources for fonts

Multiple encodings

Unicode

Non-Unicode

Conversion

  • Murasu Anjal Software tool suite for creating, editing, converting and publishing Tamil content. Windows and Mac OS X. Conversion to Unicode of legacy documents composed with older encoding formats like TSCII, TAB and Murasu-6.
  • Padma. A Firefox add-in. "Padma transforms Indic text encoded in proprietary formats (ex: dynamic fonts) automatically to Unicode. Padma also has support for transforming from ISCII and transliteration schemes like ITRANS and RTS (Telugu only)." More details on Padma homepage.
  • Unicodify: From Lancaster University, producers of the Emille corpus. For Windows; ANSI C source code also available.
  • Text conversion from TSCII 1.7 to Unicode. Muthu Nedumaran. 2007. PDF.
  • Visai Tamil 2008. Seems to be an input tool. TAM, TAB, TSCII, Unicode, ASCII; keyboard layouts, spell check; dictionary (135k+ Tamil entries, 65k English)
