TamilTime

Write the Tamil letters

Tap any letter to write it. All 247 of them, in any order, as many times as you like — nothing is scored and nothing is locked. A dot shows where each stroke starts, and a wobbly line still counts.

Uyir — the vowels

The twelve letters every Tamil word gets its sound from.

Mei — the consonants

Eighteen letters, each with a dot on top.

Aytham

One letter of its own, and the shortest sound in Tamil.

Uyirmei — the compounds

Every consonant crossed with every vowel, one set at a time — the twelve that ‌க makes, then the twelve that ‌ங makes, and so on.
