Talk:Tamil literature

message: I suggest that all pages on Tamil in Wiki use a consistent system of spelling. The best would be to use
the Tamil Lexicon system which has the advantage of being consistent with other Indian alphabets. For example we will have Pāratiyār, Cilappatikāram etc.
:Hi there.  That's exactly what I've tried to do in my ongoing rewrite of this article - take a look at the Caṅkam literature section.  We do need to agree on a set of transliteration guidelines, though - I'm working on a set of draft guidelines for the nynorsk wikipedia at the moment and I was planning to translate them into English and put them up for discussion when I was done, but that'll take time so if you'd like to take it up please go ahead.  Where I've gotten stuck is on the system of transcription to use for article titles - we can't use ā, ṭ, ṅ and other such characters there.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them. -- Arvind 12:47, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: For the article titles, use the forms of the letters ā, ṭ, ṅ etc. without the diacritics, so you have Paratiyar instead of Pāratiyār, etc. This isn't ideal, but that's the general Wikipedia solution for special characters that can't be included in article titles due to technical reasons. For instance, the page on Lech Wałęsa is at Lech Walesa. Any other solution would probably confuse those not familiar with Tamil. Good luck, --Iceager 16:23, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The statment does not credit Eelam Tamils who have contributed immensely to Tamil literature since ancient times.  Also, it does not acknowledge the Diaspora contributions (Malaysia, Singapore, Europe, Canada), since their contributions add different elements to Tamil literature.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.186.177 (talk) 17:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your comment. Many contributors of the Tamil literature mainly were Tamil people from Tamil Nadu, and there have been notable contributions from European authors. So I just created a page Tamil Linguists in order to add notable contributors.Arvind Arokara (talk) 23:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
