First time I've tried the net on Dravidian languages, but let's see. Britannica has some information . Try www.kerala.org It's got information about Kerala and a program Translite in http://www.kerala.org/fonts It's a transliterater. Unfortunately it's a demo but you should be able to make out something of the script. And look at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/vipin/www/mal.html and yahoo has a category for Tamil http://dir.yahoo.com/Social_Science/Linguistics_and_Human_Languages/Language s/Specific_Languages/Tamil/ All in all not as much as you'd've wanted. Oh well, best of luck!
