Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been jobless for the two years since I’ve graduated, and the shame of being a useless bum, and having my freedom restricted due to monetary dependency has been killing me from the inside.
India, Greenland, Greece and Turkey are the four countries with the fastest growth of Linux users. I’ve checked their neighbouring countries, and it looks like they are still in the 1-2% range.
I looked for it for, like, a hour or so, but couldn’t find the scanned copies.
Thank you for your effort, but it looks like someone will have to create a scanned archive haha.
I tried to email those folks, but never got a reply back. Kinda irritating, but as a last resort, I think I’m gonna have to ask for permission from the university where the books are currently available, travel to the physical location myself, borrow a camera, and archive the scans on the internet.
Apparently, this dictionary is said to the most comprehensive for any Dravidian language, and has been awarded the Gundert Award. It is kind of frustrating that I did not know about this work before, because right now, I am using Mariappa Bhatt and Shankar Kedilya’s dictionary, which isn’t that comprehensive, and also lacks IPA guides for character phonetics.
Right now is not the best time for me, because I am jobless, and have some monetary issues right now. I am trying to create a open-source WordNet (yes, there is one already available, but I could not find the data) to prepare this for when resource-poor languages can be successfully introduced to LLMs.

Click on random links across page without reading, come across a page about learning C-lang
Page is something about suckless world or something, yeah I guess there’s too many conspiracy-theory idiots out there, maybe bro is calling them out?

Is bro okay? trigger warning-type stuff about self-harm, lots of blood!
