Hello homosapiens!
I hereby welcome one and all to my new blog 'Spellwell'. Our linguistic world is ridden with inconsistencies in spelling and pronouncing of words. The problem jumps to leaps and bounds with the crazy, nutty transportations of words across the languages especially in the absence of appropriately sounding letters in the language of destination. Some stalwarts had devised additional letters interfacing languages, for example, granthalipi (Sanskrit to Tamil). Such efforts had been partially successful within a limited populace. Besides, it has not exhaustively covered the needs of transcription in the present world.
Here, friends, I have a tool for transciption or tansliteration, developed by me, based on the English alphabet, intending to cover interfacing needs among Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit and English.
Similar tools can be and have been devised in Tamil and devanagari scripts too. The English version would be useful in the present world of multilingual population with English as a link.
Bye for a while.
Srini
