It is also spoken by the Tamil diaspora found in many countries, including Malaysia, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and Mauritius. Tamil is also natively spoken by Sri Lankan Moors. Tamil script is an abugida script that is used by Tamils and Tamil speakers in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and elsewhere to write the Tamil language. Certain minority languages such as Saurashtra, Badaga, Irula and Paniya are also written in the Tamil script. The Tamil script, like the other Brahmic scripts, is thought to have evolved from the original Brahmi script. The written and spoken forms of Tamil are very different from each other. Although this is a common trait of major Indian languages, it makes it difficult for beginners to learn Tamil. The written form when spoken might sound very old-fashioned and pretentious.
