View Unicode Tamil through Roman transliteration

You can use the following form to practice writing Tamil in Roman alphabet. Write your Romanized transliteration within two pipe symbols as in |itu tami7| and |ingkee `tamizhil' ezutalaam.|. You can check your input by clicking the transliteration button. Use the following chart to choose the Roman equivalents for Tamil characters. Tamil does not have a `standard' transliteration scheme for romanization, so you can choose from a number of alternations given below, like long forms being represented as a sequence of two same vowels (eg. ee) or by capital letter (E) and so on.

Press the button named "Transliterate and view in Unicode Tamil" to see the output of the text in the following text box. When you are ready to try your text, remove the text inside this text box, and paste or type yours in. Remember Tamil should be entered within two pipe symbols like |itu tamizh|. You can apply any HTML tags to Tamil, but be sure to keep the tag symbols out of the two pipe symbols.
