European and Oriental Languages 


இட்‌ primarily for TOURISTS and TRAVEL- 
LERS in Foreign lands who, without previous 
knowledge of the Language, desire to express themselves 
aufticiently to be understood, these books also form a good 
foundation for the more seriously minded student. 


The Method followed throughout the Series is to give 
Classified vocabularies and Conversational Phrases under 
Subjects, arranged in three columns giving first the English 
word or phrase, second the Foreign equivalent, and third 
the English phonetic pronunciation. This latter column 
makes correct pronunciation a simple matter. A section 
an Elementary Grammar is included in most cases and 
deals with the construction of sentences and any special 
peculiarites of the language, such as Genders, Tenses, Con- 
jugation of Verbs, etc. For the more important languages 
a separate volume on Grammar is published containing, in 
addition to a thorough treatise on Grammar, Exercises for 
translation. | 


These books can be obtained through any bookseller.

Printed and Made in Great Britain 


PREFAOE. 


HIS volume of Tamil is issued with a two-fold object, viz., as an 

independent manual of spoken Tamil, and as a supplementary and 

companion volume to Tamin Grammar இறா தர்ர (MaRLBoROUUH'S 
Self-Taught Series, No. 19). 


It is primarily intended to supply a working and practical knowledge 
of the language, for the benefit of those who have not the time or the 
inclination to master the grammar, and yet require to use the spoken 
tongue for purposes of business or pleasure. With this in view many 
vocabularies are supplied, carefully selected to suit the needs of the Tamil 
countries and classified according to subject, and also a large number of 
colloquial phrases and sentences of a practical character, similarly classi- 
fied. Throughout these sections of the volume the pronunciation of the 
Tamil words is added, according to Marlborough’s system of phonetics— 
& system which has grown out of long experience, and is of so simple a 
nature that, by means of it, a stranger to the language who knows 
English only, can read off the words at க glance and thus easily make 
himself understood amongst Tamil-speaking people. At the same time 
the Grammar forms a useful book of reference on any point of construc- 
tion, etc., which may arise. 


To the student who has set himself to master the ficst volume— 
Tamin Grammar Sevtr-Tavuanr—this book offers a large amount of 
additional matter of an extremely useful kind. He can add largely to 
his stock of words by means of it, and the conversations furnish abundant 
material for exercise in writing and reading as well as in speaking Tamil. 
The English-Tamil alphabetical Vocabulary is a most useful supplement 
to the classified lists of words in the earlier portion of the book, and 
forms the counterpart of the Tamil-Hnglish Vocabulary supplied in the 
GRAMMAR. 


Each of these volumes is, therefore, the complement of the other, 
and together they suffice to give an excellent grounding in Tamil. In 
view of the importance of the problems of government now engaging 
attention in India, it is hoped that, by facilitating the acquisition of one 
of the principal tongues of the Indian Empire, these books may assist in 
strengthening the ties which bind British and Indian fellow-subjects 
together.

TAMIL SELF-TAUGHT. 





THE ALPHABET AND PRONUNCIATION. 





The Tamil Alphabet contains thirty letters, viz., twelve 
vowels and eighteen consonants. 

From these are formed 216 syllabic characters, which are 
combinations of the consonants with the vowels in which the 
consonantal character is in some cases slightly modified in form 
and has a vowel-sign joined to it. 

In addition, there are a number of conventional abbreviated 
characters, etc., found in official documents and manuscripts. 
For these, the student is referred to Tamm Grammar இரா. 
Taucur—Volume No. 19 of this series, pages 18-14. 

In the Tamil language there are five primary vowel sounds, 
viz., a, 1, u, 6) 0. Hach of these, however, is represented by two 
characters which stand for the long and the short sound of the 
vowel respectively, and there are in addition two characters 
representing the diphthongs ௧8 and au. 

There are thus twelve characters in the Tamil alphabet 
which stand for vowel sounds. These are used in two different 
ways, that is to say: 

(a) Init1aLLy, when they are represented separately by regular 
letters ; 

(6) Mepratty, or following and joined to a consonant to form 
a syllable, when the vowel is represented by a sign (in 
certain instances variable) attached to the consonantal 
character, excepting in the case of the vowel a, which 
is inherent in the consonant and not indicated by any 
sign, its absence being generally shown by a dot or a 
small circle over the consonant (see pages 10-11). 


In the following tables—pp. 7 to 9—the initial and medial 
forms of the Tamil vowels are given, followed by the consonants, 
and to all are added their transliterative (Roman) characters, 
and the phonetic signs by which the Tamil sounds are repre- 
sented in the third column throughout the classified Vocabularies 
and Conversations of which this volume chiefly consists. 

On pages 10 and 11 are the syllabic characters, also in the 
Tamil and Roman types.

PRELIMINARY NOTES. 


Pronunciation.—The student is recommended to master 
the pronunciation at the outset. The precise use and value of 
each phonetic sign are shown on pages 7 to 9, which should be 
studied carefully. The following additional explanations will 
be of service :-- 

*The principles on which Marlborough’s system of phonetics 
is based are: (1) the employment of English characters with 
their ordinary pronunciation (or one of their sounds, where more 
than one), with as eparing a use as possible of diacritic signs ; 
and (2) onE sien, onE sounD. Where, therefore, a ‘‘sign”’ (i.6., 
letter or letters) might be variously sounded—and this applies 
to each of the English vowels and some of the consonants—its 
particular use in the scheme of phonetics should be carefully 
noted, and each sign must always be sounded in the same manner 
wherever it occurs (one sign, one sound); any letter or combiva- 
tion of letters printed in italics or with any mark added has a 
special use which must be learnt. Thus :— 

u represents (always and only) the sound of $ in bun, sum. 
ப்‌ $s the sound of e in other, filbert, &c. 


ங்‌ “ ஷ்‌ is u in pull, or oo in foot. 

௦௦ ்‌ x ள்‌ w in rude, or oo in boor. 

i as ரா ல்‌ ior y in pity. 

4 (ital.) ,, es ம்‌ $ in mine or 7 (i.e., a diphthong). 
i ர சி e in men, merry. 

ay ye se re @ in able, pane (i.e., a simple sound, 

not diphthongized) , 

ay (ital.) ,, ப்‌ x5 ay (diphthong) in day, play. 

ch (ital.) ,, “a es ch in the Scotch word loch. 

gh is written for g before e and i to preserve the hard sound of g as 
in regard. 

ow represents the sound of ow in cow, now. 

rr i one strong sound, the two r’s not to be sounded 

separately. 
th + the sound of th in with, both. 
th (ital.) ,, si ன்‌ th in they, breathe. 


For the cerebrals % and 8, also for ng, ny, and ry, see Alphabet. 
Tonic Accent.—It should be noted that the first syllable 
of a Tamil word has, as a general rule, a fuller intonation than 
the remaining syllables of the word.
