(copying my response from another list)

Good work, Arjuna. (Though not a fan of phonetic keyboards that rely on  English 
alphabet sounds due to long term negative impact,) I tried Tamil  and Malayalam 
and they both work very well. One suggestion would be to  handle backspace to 
erase the original input. For example, if I've typed  aa in Malayalam, and press 
backspace, it should retain 'a', no?

- Sundar
 "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for 
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture

I am happy to share  a tiny web application to help people get started with 
using Indian languages on Computers in public places, using wiki sites.
