One difference between Tamil script & other major indian scripts
and its implications for encoding.
. No conjuncts in Tamil
conjunct
= samyukta akshara (in hindi/sanskrit/many other indian languages)
= 2 consonants (shapes) coming together to form a different 3rd
shape
there are three cases:
1. consonant + vowel becomes a new shape - tamil, kannada, telugu and
malayalam
2. consonant + consonant becomes new shape - kannada, telugu,
malayalam and devnagiri
which means that kannada, telugu and malayalam have even more shapes
than devnagiri
