Ilattut Tamil Valakku Akarati – A Dictionary of Ilam Tamil Usage

Ilattut Tamil Valakku Akarati – A Dictionary of Ilam Tamil Usage is listed in the archive as a major multi-volume work associated with the period 1960–1973. It is one of the most important titles connected to Prof. A. Sathasivam’s work in Tamil lexicography.

The dictionary reflects his interest in actual Tamil usage, especially Ceylon or Ilam Tamil forms. It should be presented as a major scholarly contribution because it connects language documentation, regional Tamil usage and academic lexicography.
