CLDR likely/default locale: Taml; not audio/sole script—confirm project choice
Direction
Left to right

Tamil (தமிழ்) review centers on this evidence: inspect Tamil vowel signs, sound-to-letter choices, agglutinative endings, names, numbers, and English terminology. The Taml value for ta comes from CLDR likely-subtag expansion. It guides locale fallback; audio has no script, and Tamil still needs a project choice. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include vowel signs, sound-to-letter choices, names, numbers, and borrowed terminology. Project decision: which Tamil spelling and borrowed-term transliteration policy is approved. Before batch editing ta, a reviewer must record which Tamil spelling and borrowed-term transliteration policy is approved and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
