Talk:Malayalam script

message: An earlier version of this page, with a copy at http://www.fact-index.com/m/ma/malayalam_alphabet.html has the consonants lla, llla and rra in a different order with respect to other consonants. This site has them in another order. Can anyone confirm what the correct Malayalam alphabetical order is? The current page seems to follow the order of Unicode code-points, which IMHO is not the correct way to introduce an alphabet. -- Paddu 19:59, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The vowel diacritics for the consonants in Malayalam should, for the most part, precede the consonant.  For the letters o and O, the e and E signs should respectively appear before the consonant, and after the consonant the elongated A diacritic should appear.
Please correct this if you know how to work with computer language.  Thanks.
:The coding of the page is correct, but it seems to need a major effort to make a computer capable of correctly displaying Malayalam Unicode, see http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcome%2C_newcomers

thread_title:  Malayalam script disappearance on Wikipedia 

message: I would like to know how to write in unicode Malayalam.  If anyone knows an editor for it, would you write me.  The link to the editor at the bottom of this article is not able to create all letters, e.g. the nk sound in Sankarapoori, one of my ancestral family names.
Thank you,

thread_title:  Editor for unicode 

message: Malayalam has several independent letter forms for consonants, when they are syllable final and lack an inherent vowel. These forms are titled 'cillaksarams'
and are important in numerous cases for differentiating between two possible alternatives of one written gloss.
On July 2005 Unicode Temporarily allotted code positions for
chillaksharams based on Public Review 66. Then, after getting a response from the Rachana Team titled "Chandrakkala. Samvruthokaram. Chillaksharam." Unicode withdrew the code position allotment for chillaksharam on September 2005. After that as a part of discussion, a large number of response documents were submitted before Unicode. Based up on Eric Muller's Report Summarising the discussion and proposing Allotment of Chillu letters, submitted to Unicode on May 2006, It is approved On July 2006.
You can read about the discussion and the letter forms here:
http://lists.sarovar.org/pipermail/plus-discuss/2006-October/000491.html and read Eric Muller's Report here:
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/N3126.pdf
Can someone perhaps update the page to include these letters, once they are supported by unicode? I would be happy to do it, but I don't have the know-how.

thread_title:  Example of the script? 

message: Wow, Lulu, you have really expanded this stub in the introduction. Good Job! I think you have included most of the topics on Malayalam script; however I did notice that when you mentioned the distinction between vowels and consonants at the end of introduction, you should probably continue to write a few extra sentences. Right now it seems to me that the last part of your writing is sort of imcomplete. Thanks

thread_title:  for LING 1100-108 

message: Currently the -moz-column-count hacks are used in this article, which is a bit ugly, and works only on Mozilla (Firefox) anyway. If 2 tables are to be placed side by side, Template:Multicol can be used for better browser support. But now the "Remarks" column of the "Consonants" table is a bit too narrow, not exactly easy to read when a lengthy text is put there, isn't it...? So I'd like to make the "Consonants" table one wide table, like the "Vowels" table currently is, not divided into two parts, placed side by side. Would that be okay? Also, someone please help improve the text, anyone. I'm not really good at writing and I could really use some help :) —Gyopi (talk) 08:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The statement that "The new orthography ..., is now used commonly, but has not completely replaced the traditional system" is not well supported by the reference.  The reference says the reformed script is mostly used in just a few kinds of publications.
Could we see a reference to some statistics?
