Tamil phonology is characterised by the presence of “true-subapical” retroflex consonants and multiple rhotic consonants. Its script does not distinguish between voiced and unvoiced consonants; phonetically, voice is assigned depending on a consonant's position in a word, voiced intervocalically and after nasals except when geminated. Tamil phonology permits few consonant clusters, which can never be word initial.

  • Die Aussprache des Tamil unterscheidet sich recht stark vom Schriftbild, lässt sich aber nach bestimmten Regeln aus diesem ableiten. Die Tamil-Schrift ist weitgehend phonematisch, d. h., ein Graphem (Buchstabe) repräsentiert ein Phonem. Diese Phoneme haben aber zahlreiche positionsbedingte Allophone, d. h., sie werden abhängig von ihrer Stellung im Wort als unterschiedliche Laute realisiert. Daher erfordert die korrekte Aussprache eines geschriebenen Textes die Kenntnis der Phonologie des Tamil. Da Lehnwörter nicht den phonologischen Regeln des Tamil unterliegen, lässt sich ihre Aussprache nicht ohne weiteres aus dem Schriftbild schließen. (de)
