for my teachers
I have transliterated Tamil words according to the conventions of the Tamil Lexicon. Sanskrit-derived Tamil words are generally in their most easily recognizable formso, Mdhava n instead of Mtava n . Place names that occur in the poems or in the commentary have been transliterated. In all other instances, place names adhere to their most common spelling. Names of contemporary authors and informants are rendered as they choose to spell them in English. I have transliterated the names of all historical personalities.
Tamil has twelve vowels, which are classified into five short vowels (a, i, u, e, o), five long vowels (, , , , ), and two diphthongs (ai and au). There are eighteen consonants.
Below is a pronunciation guide.
Vowels
a | pronounced like the u in cut |
pronounced like the a in father | |
i | pronounced like the i in it |
pronounced like the ee in feet | |
u | pronounced like the u in put |
pronounced like the oo in root | |
e | pronounced like the e in set |
pronounced like the a in rate | |
o | pronounced like the uo in quote |
pronounced like the o in go | |
ai | pronounced like the ie in pie |
au | pronounced like the ow in cow |
Consonants
k (guttural) | pronounced like the k in kite. Tamil e.g. kal (stone) |
c (palatal) | pronounced like the ch in chalk. It can also be pronounced as a sibilant, like the s in sieve. Tamil e.g. col (word) |
(retroflex) | pronounced like the t in toe. Tamil e.g. vau (insect) |
t (dental) | pronounced like the t in thing. Tamil e.g. vantu (having come) |
p | pronounced like the p in prop. Tamil e.g. pl (milk) |
(nasal paired with k) | pronounced like the nk in link. Tamil e.g. makai (girl) |
(nasal paired with c) | pronounced like the gn in gnosis. Tamil e.g. necu (heart) |
