WP Former Countries - Things to do:

An earlier version of this page, with a copy at http://www.fact-index.com/m/ma/malayalam_alphabet.html has the consonants lla, llla and rra in a different order with respect to other consonants. This site has them in another order. Can anyone confirm what the correct Malayalam alphabetical order is? The current page seems to follow the order of Unicode code-points, which IMHO is not the correct way to introduce an alphabet. -- Paddu 19:59, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It seems to, that there is no good and definitive reference on web. If I get the story right, default Unicode collation simply followed ISCII, not taking into account the differences between indic scripts. There seems to be some discussion on changing this, and at some point the default Unicode collation may be updated to something usefull. See [1] -- Pjacobi 21:01, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Any chance of some instructions on how to download the thing you need to read this page? The Recycling Troll 02:47, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake in Unicode script

The vowel diacritics for the consonants in Malayalam should, for the most part, precede the consonant. For the letters o and O, the e and E signs should respectively appear before the consonant, and after the consonant the elongated A diacritic should appear.

Please correct this if you know how to work with computer language. Thanks.

The coding of the page is correct, but it seems to need a major effort to make a computer capable of correctly displaying Malayalam Unicode, see http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcome%2C_newcomers

[edit] Malayalam numeral Zero

The malayalam numeral Zero shown in this page appears to be incorrect. In the early books, and in statues (see teh statue of Sre. T.P. Madhava Rao in Trivandrum) the numeral zero is used as used in sanskrit i.e 0 itself. The symbol shown here was used sometimes to represent the number 10 as a whole. Verify this and correct.

[edit] Information About Traditional Malayalam Script

I think information about the traditional malayalam script before the Script Reform must also be added to the article. Also there is no information about Malaylam Conjuncts in this article. They must also be added
