Sharma, I asked a valid question. Where is the T in PoA R as in Tamil. Roughley, PoA R points to variations of T among other.
I asked another question obb6 is a duplicate of an existing PoA code. Why is the attempt to re write Tamil alphabet? Does this not create confusable? We've been crying out loud that there is a different system of writing used in Tamil, vastly different to sounds based system. Why is there a blanking of the facts. My guess is that some attempt is being made to erase the system and replace it with, though improper, a system by forcing a mixed system as a start and eventually destroy the scientific system and Tamil heritage.

Srivas, I have been listening to this conversation mostly with amusement but you are now crossing an unseen borderline by deriding respected scholars. How do you know who was at the various meetings the Govt of India conducts for the purpose of forwarding their various recommendations to the Unicode Consortium and how do you know that they are "half baked linguists"? If at all you are a scholar you must learn to respect the opinion of other scholars even if they analyse things differently from you. There is also NO racial line either in the Govt of India or in the Unicode Consortium so please stop making such accusations. I think this thread has gone on for too long and moderators must do something about it. -- Shriramana Sharma.
