[edit] Mandyam Tamil
A hoax article. Google search on Mandyam Tamil yields only results related to this Wikipedia article and other mirror sites. ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 09:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment This is pretty specialized, and I have different results in my search patterns. Has anyone tried to contact anyone over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dravidian languages? Yngvarr 11:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

- weak keep Article needs a rewrite with sources listed below.jonathon 06:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, this is not a hoax. The Enthnologue report for the Tamil language lists "Mandyam Brahmin" as a dialect. This website indicates the existence of both a Mandyam people and language. The well-sourced (featured) articles on the Tamil language and Tamil people both mention the dialect as well. Absolutely not a WP:HOAX, highly unlikely the conent is unverifiable. shoeofdeath 20:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep for the same reasons as ShoeOfDeath. mike40033 04:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
