URL typing in TAMIL

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is contemplating to introduce URL typing in languages other than English.At present,even if the site has a Tamil name,it has to be typed in English in the browser .ICANN is experimenting other language URL typing currently.For this purpose they have selected 11 languages. Tamil finds a place in the list of 11 languages selected by ICANN.It is another honour for Classic Language Tamil. Only two Indian Languages have figured in the list,Hindi and Tamil.The other world languages selected for this trial are Arabic,Persian,Russian,Chinese,Hindi,Greek,Korean,Yiddish,Japanese and Tamil.

When this comes into vogue,Tamil domain names can be viewed in Tamil in browser and one can type URL in Tamil itself in the browser.This is likely to come in to effect from november 16th.
