tamil is my native language and im trying to learn how to write in it, so thank you much for this - i felt lost on where to start and this has really helped.
Alphabets like these make me think of whenever you'll need to quickly write somrthing down and it'll be hard to do that with an alphabet that has super complicated letters with suqiggles and loops and circles and stuff
Ys, I am a native Tamil speaker (though 1st gen born in US) and I can write Tamil relatively quickly. You will never see a native Tamil speaker writing in any other script. If you're wondering how we facilitate writing such curvy loops and strokes, the answer is simple: most people don't. In everyday handwriting, we simplify the letters to a form that is still readable, but is somewhat different from the original letter. I for one use the original forms, and I get along fine (though that may be because I write relatively fast and just got used to being forced to write in the proper forms by my hand). Edit: Every time you see the person writing this lifting the pen and making another stroke ... nobody does this. Not even me. We just follow the path of the previous stroke to make the next one somehow, it's easier if you see it in person. Edit edit: Am is not a Tamil vowel. I was never taught it and neither was my Great-grandfather (who died recently). I don't think it's been there for a LOOONG time. All the dots, aren't filled in. We just make a dot. No complicated circling process. It'a a dot.
@@thequantumcat184 This requires an explanation of the Tamil writing system and how it works, so strap in. Each letter on its own represents a certain consonant with an “a” like the one in about attached at the end. To write other vowels, you’ll just add some random symbol onto, before, after, or around the letter. For example, the sound ka would be written like க. To write the word Kai, which means hand, we do this - கை. Now, when we want to represent a consonant on its own, without any vowel, we add the dot. This I like to call the vowel killer, and it is very important. As a matter of fact, children these days generally are taught the letters with the vowel killers first, so as not to confuse their poor brains.
@studyhard-tl4bx That's true. And aside from that, although ஶ is otherwise obsolete in the modern Tamil script, it is still in use in Sanskrit texts by Tamil Vaishnavas and some Saivites. I recall ஶ being used in those contexts even in the 2000s in electronic texts. That letter appears in documents with Sanskrit texts transliterated into Tamil script on several websites such as Prapatti and Sanskrit Documents. While most Tamil people approximate the Sanskrit śa sound with either ச, ச' or occasionally ஷ in transliterated Sanskrit texts, I have seen ஶ being used increasingly by more and more people both Vaishnava and non Vaishnava in religious and spiritual contexts. Similarly, the Grantha script, which has been used in the Tamil speaking world as the default writing system for Sanskrit, is experiencing a revival with publishing houses in both Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka creating modern Grantha fonts.
@studyhard-tl4bx Although ஶ is still not used in most books with Sanskrit texts transliterated into the Tamil script and any Sanskrit loanwords with that and the sa sound are spelled with ச, I myself, along with some others, use ச, ஶ and ஸ to differentiate between the ca, śa and sa sounds. For example: in Tamil, caraṇam and śaraṇam both are written as சரணம். And similarly, śaṅkham and saṅgham both are written in Tamil as சங்கம். To do full justice to those Sanskrit words, I write caraṇam and śaraṇam as சரணம் and ஶரணம் in the Tamil script. And similarly, I write śaṅkham and saṅgham as ஶங்கம் and ஸங்கம்.
Das ist sehr gut. Danke schön von einem Tamilischer Sprecher! (Ja ich kann Deutsch und Tamil sprechen, aber ich lebe in den USA. Ich habe für 2 Jahre Deutsch gelernt). Don't worry I can speak English too.
Тамильское письмо основано на слогах. Оно отличается от латинского письма. Группа букв или звук представляет букву. Таким образом, любое слово, состоящее примерно из 7-8 букв, можно написать 3-4 буквами тамильского алфавита. Итак, это не займет времени
Those letters look like flowers. Very beautiful. And I really like the rain sound.
तमिल भाषा बहुत ही सुंदर हैं।
I love Tamil

Idk how practical it is to write in Tamil, but it is a beautiful alphabet

@@anishraja9655about those little dots, do they have a meaning or are they just for aesthetics?

Beautiful, reminds me of that Japanese caligrapher!
Definitely an inspiration :)
Delightful Tamil writing! Kudos!
Kudos? This currency in Fall Guys?
I speak Tamil but I live in the UK and I've NEVER seen 'am' in my life.
(Which is quite short.)
were you born in the UK?
The Tamil script is very beautiful!
Its a language not a script!! Its used in the state of Tamil Nadu!!!
@@TANGEROSC_official The script used for writing Tamil is called "Tamil script"!!!!!!
@@TANGEROSC_officialIt's also used is Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore.
அஂ (aṃ) and ஶ் (ś) are not used in modern Tamil.
😭😭😭
Thanks
ஶ் is there in Tamil script but is not used. Only word which I remember in which ஶ் is used is sri (ஸ்ரீ)

I don't even know where the Tamil alphabet is from
Tamil script is revised form of Grantha Script introduced by the Pallava Dynasty to write inscriptions in Tamil and Sanskrit.
how many letters are in the tamil alphabet?
247 I think? That is a lot but not a lot compared to something like Chinese (60000 words)
whoops meant thousands of letters
Nice👍
What do they mean?
Just different sounds.
India language is nice but confusing
it isnt once you get the hang of it i love language so i know all main indian languages
