Low quality[edit]

This article seems pretty low quality. The grammar is poor and the examples are only given in transliteration and not also in the original script (in particular, in the case of the Hebrew, the transliteration does not always seem to match the grammatical features implied by the translation given). Additionally, as the quantity of examples is fairly small, this seems like it would be better suited being merged into Tamil loanwords in other languages

The fact it is also listed under the Tamil Nadu and Tamil Civilization wikiprojects, but no linguistics or Hebrew wikiprojects makes it seem open to point-of-view issues and/or bias. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with wikipedia to add it to other such relevant projects myself

Additionally, Shulman (who is cited) notes that some of Rabin's proposed loans are "highly controversial", something the article fails to mention and so presents all the sources as in agreement supporting the identifaction of all these loanwords when that does not appear to be the case Tristanjlroberts (talk) 14:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the article to reflect the word controversial that Shulman used regarding Rabins work, I've used https://www.doitinhebrew.com/ website for all the hebrew words translations except for the last three in the Biblical Hebrew section, for those I used Online Hebrew Keyword. For Tamil I used http://tamiltype.in/ website. I've asked for professional copy editors to look into the article to improve grammar and flow, when they have time, they will do it. Other than that, I think I've done the best I can. Kanatonian (talk) 18:10, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
