My friend and I are both Telugu speakers, and neither of us had ever written Tamil before.

We had a soft-skills trainer from Vellore. For her diary, my friend and I decided to write a small note in Tamil.

When it was time to write something for her in her diary, we thought it would be more meaningful if we tried writing it in Tamil, even though we had absolutely no experience writing the language.

So we sat together, tried to figure out the letters, and finally wrote this message for her.

The hardest letter for us was the very first letter in the fifth line. (lol I dont even know how i managed to write it)

I wanted to share it here to know what you guys think about this.

Tamil speakers of Reddit, how bad/good is our first attempt?

Also rate my handwriting.

Wanted to share. Great initiative by Mr. Amanullah from Singapore.

தமிழ் வாழ்க!

I work in kochi and can read and write both Tamil and Malayalam.

Let me know if I made any mistakes.

Thanks a lot!

Also wishing you all a very happy kaarthik dheepam 🪔🪔

I was pleasantly surprised to find a tourist guide to Himeji Castle (a UNESCO site in Japan) that is written in Tamil, considering the set present.

I’m bringing it back as a souvenir :)

கன்னம் தீண்டியது கண்ணன் என்று… அந்த கன்னி கண்கள் விழித்தாள்… கன்னம் தீண்டியது கண்ணன் அல்ல… வெறும் காற்று என்று திகைத்தாள்...

தைப்பூசம்

தமிழ்க் கடவுள் முருகனின் தைப்பூசத்தை காவடி எடுத்தும், பால்குடம் சுமந்தும் பல தலைமுறையாக கொண்டாடும் சிங்கப்பூர் தமிழர்கள்.

மருத்துவரின் அலுவத்தில் இதனை புகைப்படம் எடுத்துக்கொண்டு இருந்தேன்.எனக்கும் இந்த நாள்காட்டியை கொடுத்தார்.தமிழ் எண்கள் தெரியாமல் இருந்தேன்,கற்க சுலபமாக தான் உள்ளது.

They will call you a terrorist or ltte sympathizer just cause I had a pfp of female child soilder just like how zionist call you hamas lover for supporting Palestine . They won't acknowledge all the atrocities committed by the govt or the hardliners even when I condemned Ltte .

It was one of the worst cases of iconoclasm in the 20th century. The library at the time had over 100,000 ancient manuscripts and books and was one of the largest archives of Tamil literature. Hope this post does not get removed - was removed from the Tamil Nadu reddit sub.
