This manual is an introduction to reading and writing the Tamil script. The manual employs the strategy of heightening pattern perception and contrastive observation. This manual is partially self-instructional in the sense that the manual will enable one to read and write the Tamil script. The sound values of the Tamil letters are explained through a phonetic comparison with Roman script. In all cases, the points of articulation in the oral cavity and the manner of articulation are detailed.
