မေႃႇၵျူး:ta-translit

This module will transliterate ၽႃႇသႃႇTamil text. It is also used to transliterate Kota (India) and Mannan.

The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules. To use it from a template, use Lua error in မေႃႇၵျူး:template_parser at line 1031: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got table).. Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:transliterate.

For testcases, see Module:ta-translit/testcases.
