Good dictionaries are a very, very important learning
tool. I have yet to encounter
a good English to Thamil dictionary. Luckily, there is an excellent
Thamil to English dictionary published by Cre-A called Kriyaavin
thaRkaalath thamizh akaraathi. The
Cre-A dictionary provides meanings in both Thamil and English. It
also includes one or two example sentences or phrases for each meaning.
It is available in major bookstores in Thamil naadu. A few
online dictionaries are listed below:
Online Tamil Lexicon - The Madras Tamil Lexicon is online. This online dictionary provides translations
from Thamil to English and from English to Thamil.
To use it, you will have to familiarize yourself with the transliteration
scheme.
The following dictionaries are provided courtesy of the Tamil Virtual
