Thanks ▲ Collapse

Yes, there are set standards for classical Tamil romanization. Generally, Tamil scholars and students follow the Transliteration Table given in Tamil Lexicon (p. lxviii, University of Madras, 1982). Since it has diacritics for long vowels, retroflex consonants, etc. I could not give an example here. Sorry.

Transliteration Table is given in the first volume of the Tamil Lexicon. Actually there are 7 volumes (6 + 1 (Supplement)). You need not buy it. If you wish, I am ready to send a scan of the page to your email ID.
By the by, my name is Sundar. Gopalakrishnan is my father's name!
