    Study Notes

    Tamil Language and Script

    • The Tamil script has undergone changes over time, with the use of dots (புள்ளி) above and below the letters being discontinued.
    • In ancient times, Tamil scholars used a single dot (ஒற்றைப்புள்ளி) to indicate the change of sound in a word, but this practice has been replaced with the use of diacritical marks (துணைக்கால்) in modern times.

    Writing and Literature

    • The need for script reform arose due to the difficulty of writing on ola leaves and copper plates, which were prone to damage.
    • In ancient times, Tamil writers did not use dots while writing, as they were afraid of damaging the materials.
    • The Tamil language has a rich literary heritage, with various forms of poetry and literature.

    Personal Vows
