	Are there really two  agarams ? I dont think so. Perhaps u can give
	examples of Tamil words.

>aa (as in are).
>i  (as in pin)
>ee (as in keep)
>u  (as in French peut, only if occuring at the end of a word)

	The kuttriyalugaram. (shortened u)
	There is also a kuttriyaligaram (shortened i).

	Pure Tamil (247 letters) doesn't have a lot of sounds : f, sh etc.
	But it has the zha which no other language in the world has (I have
	heard that Malayalam has it, is that true?)

	Another feature of Tamil is that it uses the same letter for 
	different sounds - tha & dha, ta and da, ka and ga etc.
	On the other hand Tamil sharply distinguishes between ra, Ra as
	in maram (tree) and puRam (outside), and na and Na where most 
	other languages dont even recognize such differences.

	Why such inconsistencies? 

	BTW, for whom is the posting intended - people who would like to teach
	their NA born children?

1. Spoken Tamil has 14 vowels and 28 consonents. All that one hears in
Tamil can fit into these. However, written Tamil has 12 vowels and
23 consonents.

2. The vowels are:
a  (as in man, but shorter, only if occuring at the end of a word)
   (as in 'are', but shorter in duration, otherwise)
aa (as in are).
i  (as in pin)
ee (as in keep)
u  (as in French peut, only if occuring at the end of a word)
   (as in put, otherwise)  { hear 'kurangu' to  get the difference}
oo (as in root)
e  (as in pen)
E  (as in obey)
ai (as in try)
o  (as in polite)
O  (as in note)
ow (as in cow)

3. The consonents are:

Fundamental set: ka, cha, ta, tha, pa (obtained by progressive positions
of the tongue inside the mouth, from inside to outside.)

According to Tamil rules, these are pronounced softly as ga, sa, da, dha, ba
except when they occur at beginning of a word, doubled, or follow a 'r'.
example, kaagam, akkaa. The sounds like gaakam, agga do not occur in Tamil.

Nasal set: NGa, NYa, Na, na, ma are the nasal counterparts of the above
five consonents. English has the nasal counterparts of 'tha' and 'pa'
only. For tongue position, use NGa:ka = NYa:cha = Na:ta = na:tha = ma:pa

Extra set: ya, ra, la, va are as usual. 'ra' is more like in Italian/French.

Special consonent La:-     La:la = Na:na = ta:tha for tongue position

Special consonent Ra:      Harsher than 'ra'. When doubled becomes
                           a soft 'tr' as in Montreal.

Special consonent zha: It is more like the French pronunciation of 'Je',
                       English 'ra', Russian 'zha'.

Grantham consonents: ja, sa, ha, sha, ksha have current Tamil symbols,
                     useful for writing some borrowed words.

Traditionally, borrowed words were 'nativized', as is the practice with most
other languages, like French. But in recent times, there is a tendency or
a fad to pronounce just Sanskrit origin words as they would be in Sanskrit.
The words from Persian, Arabic, English, Latin etc. are still Tamilized.
This practice, leads to some exceptions to the above rule. Tamilization
of those borrowed words are still considered acceptable in most places.

Agglutination: Tamil words in sentences are joined together as follows.
'eduththu + kodu' becomes 'eduththuk kodu'. If one needs to have a pause
while reading a long Tamil sentence, one should drop the ending consonent,
Read as eduththu (pause) kodu and not as eduththuk (pause) kodu.
