Tamil Script/Sankaran Radhakrishnan ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I always feel my inspirations are Tamil learners. Hence my first and foremost acknowledgments go to my students who learned Tamil from me. Without their learning difficulties, errors and mistakes I would have not thought of this manual. I am grateful for Prof. Patrick Oliville's entire and positive attitude for any academic venture. As a person, he is a gem. I am thankful to him for his constant support. A special mention has to be made here about Prof. Norman Cutler who admired this manual in the pre-final version itself very much. He was especially fond of the exercise part. When I had discussions with him he constantly encouraged me to bring out the manual as early as possible for Tamil learners. I dedicate this book to him. Prof. Stephen Phillips who started learning Tamil from me spent his time and offered valuable suggestions and comments on the brief description on 'Tamil language, culture, traditions, etc.'; I can't forget his time. I am very much grateful to Kristen Rudisill for her sincerity and patience in going through the manuscripts. Eduardo Contreras with his smiling face always extended technical support whenever I faced problems with computer and solved then and there; I sincerely thank him. I would like to thank at last but not least my wife, Sasikala who typed the entire manuscript and son, Karthik who spent many hours for me in bringing the layout and offered computer assistance even in the odd hours. Without their invaluable assistance throughout the typing and formatting of the manuscript it would have been almost impossible to complete this manual. Sankaran Radhakrishnan
