<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->other is, pronounciation of the first varna of the last name of Sachin Tendulkar amongst telugu-s. 'T' as in number ten is the common telugu pronounciation of Ten-dulkar that I come across amongst telugu friends, whereas rest of us pronounce it as 't' like in telugu. they even pronounce 'Tamil' with hard 'T' (à¤) instead of 't' (त) as in 'telugu'.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You are right about the Tendulkar name pronounciation.
But for Tamizh though all the people I know use "t" including myself, maybe others don't but I haven't heard it yet.
Also from what I heard the "Dravidianist" nutters done some crappy reforms with the Tamizh script where they took out certain words as not native to Tamizh, so sundar is now written as chundar or something, i don't know how true this is but maybe Swamy G can enlighten us.
Also HH, is the "zha" unique to Tamizh and Malayalam as far as you know or did the other South languages have it but dropped it in course of time?
