Partly done: I found the cited source online and the same chart is in it (page 47, for the record). There was a mistake in our article, but not exactly what you suggested as the correction. Since I don't speak Tamil, I went with what the cited source says. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 18:43, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Regarding the alternative writing for the language name.
I request an editor to correct the spelling of the alternative writing from 'Tamizhil' to 'Tamizh'. Code-72 (talk) 03:45, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Legendary origin
The section says ‘ Agastya bought it to the people ‘ but also worth adding as per legends it was agastya who created and codified the grammar for Tamil. Ammamozhi (talk) 12:24, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
