Did you know that the number of good Tamil Dictionary in Tamil on the internet is Nil. There are hundreds for English, more than 20 for Hindi and 3 for Sanskrit. But for Tamil language we don’t have even one.

I have seen many people who are passionate about Tamil on this site. If we could all join hands we can build a good Tamil dictionary in Tamil.

It is not a very easy job. But where there's a will there's a way. Create a Excel sheet with 2 columns. 1 for English and 1 for Tamil. For a English word type the relevant word in Tamil using E-Kalapai or Murasu. Please enter atleast 25 words. And send it to me at talktamil@tamil.com. We will verify it and add it to the database at http://www24.brinkster.com/umarthambi/tamil/ETamil_search.asp.

Everyone will have access to this database for free and can search words very easily. Lets unite and make our motherland proud.

  Dear Manju,
  All Tamils should be proud of you for your continuos efforts, in finding a place of pride for the Tamil Language, among the modern World population.
  
  May God provide you with strong willpower to continue with your good efforts for the growth of our mother tongue, and a wide World acceptance of Tamil as a superior language - first among our own Tamil population throughout the World, and then among the other Societies.

  Hello Manju,
  Tamil lovers all over the world will be extremely happy with your thinkings. But for political fortunes Tamils in Tamilnadu are behaving in anti Tamil way, what can we do? at this moment. I feel really sorry for the the way by which Tamils voted for an anti Tamil, thinking that she will their saviour! Only Tamil god can save Tamil.

  Mukundan,
  
  i fully agree with u. she is a sworn anti-tamil. she is not even born in tamil nadu. To add to it she has an insatiable need for money and power. May Thamizh Annai save all Tamils

  Unmai,
  
  Dont seek Thamizh Annai's help, cos, JJ will mantle that role and plunder what ever she has left over.
  
  She may not have been born and it does not matter. SHe is a kannadiga. Period.

  hey tamilian,
  not that this makes any difference, however jayalalitha is an iyengar therefore cannot be a kannadiga!
  infact I found a journal that you might believe (because it definitely is not written by brahmins), to show you this exact point
  
  http://www.dalitstan.org/journal/brahman/bra001/brah0121.html
  
  
  Again I do not think that this makes her any better, but just letting you know.

  Thanks everyone for the wishes. The reality is Tamil people are better in talking , gossiping, arguing and blaming others than in doing the actual work. I got many mails wishing me luck, but only 2 helping hands. We have created a dictionary with 5000 words. We all know Tamil has 2 lakh recorded words. I hope more of you can join together in doing some real concrete work for the Tamil community and language.
  
  The link to the Tamil dictionary is

  Please send your suggestion and idea to talktamil@tamil.com

  ////RECEIPE FOR MAKING TAMIL:
  
  take few small pebble stones,
  put it in a empty tin box
  shake it , it will sound as long as you shake it
  then you can have feel of how tamil sounds.
  Really rocking.
  
  another recipe:
  -------------
  Bring variety of cockroaches
  keep it in empty thin tin box
  the resultant sound is divine
  and this divinity is called Tamil.
  Everything looks good on me is you,
  That is what cockroaches trying to sing together
  and that idli-la-vada macchas are trying to teach to whole world which they refer as tamil language, which you can write in many ways:
  
  Tamil, dhamil, thamizh. , not sure which is correct.////
  
  Whata perfect analysis!! wow great sum up , keep up high!!!

  One should guard against misdeeds (caused by) the mind, and one should be restrained in mind. Giving up evil conduct in mind, one should be of good conduct in mind.
