From English speech
- Sentence order
- English puts the verb after the subject and Tamil puts the verb at the end, so sentences are rebuilt, not swapped word for word.
Reading it in Tamil
- Script
- Tamil script, written left to right, with fewer letters than most Indian scripts — one letter can stand for several sounds.
- Numbers
- Tamil digits exist, but are rare; 0–9 is used almost everywhere.
- Saying "you"
- Tamil has neenga / neengal (respectful or plural) and nee (familiar).
- Names
- In Tamil, names often carry an initial for the father's name (K. Ramesh) instead of a surname.
- Everyday words
- Tanglish — English words in Tamil speech, very common in offices and colleges.
- Who reads it
- Tamil is spoken in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia.
Example

Beta, I have sent the money for the hostel fee. Call me when you get it.
You read (Tamil):
பெட்டா, நான் ஹாஸ்டல் ஃபீஸுக்கான பணத்தை அனுப்பிவிட்டேன். பணம் கிடைத்ததும் எனக்குக் கால் செய்.
