| Brief Description: | This comprehensive Tamil English Dictionary, as its title indicates, embraces both the common and Poetic dialects of the Tamil Language, inculding its principal Astronomical, Astrological, Mythological, Botanical, Scientific and official Terms; as also the names of many authors, poets, heroes and Gods. Containing, as it does, upwards of 30,000 words more than any similar work,it will, it is hoped, be found as most important help in acquiring such a knowledge of the language, as will enable the student really to profit by its literature. It will also be found useful to those who may wish for condensed information on the philosophy, the religion, the superstitions, and the customs of the hindus. A few remarks on the relation of the Tamil to some other languages, may not be here out of place. |
