WORLD COMMMON SCRIPT

I am concerned with evolution of common script where all symbols are available for all sounds that occur in all languages.
Then we can select the symbols required to learn a particular language [spoken form only].

Then writing at least 100 [or more] questions and answers thereof pertaining to each situation.
This is mainly useful for tourist visiting many countries where a number of languages are spoken.
Then translation of those sentences from source language to target language printed in common script. Of course, the questions may not be the same in each language. We can modify the question according to the requirement of the target language.
The ultimate aim should be to understand well what the other person utters.

We are not concerned with the difficulty or easiness of a particular script.

Those who want to go through the literature of a particular language, necessarily have to learn the script of that particular language.

Some universal organization should come forward to execute the project.
Linguists of different language are to sit together and evolve the World Common Script.

Persons engaged in evolving UNICODE font for each language should evince interest in this project. Academics should also come forward to coordinate and execute this project. Respective Governments should also finance for the execution of this project.

The ultimate aim is free mobility of the people to all countries and to increase their knowledge about their counter parts living in other countries.

I will be happy if my dream comes true.

TMSoundararajan's Felicitation Function at Madurai.

A felicitation function felicitating Sri T.M.Soundararajan was arranged by DMK Party's VIP Sri M.K.Alagiri on 6th August 2008 at Tamukkam Grounds, Madurai around 6 pm.
Chief Minister Dr.M.Karunanidhi gave a gift cheque of Rs. 5 Lakhs.
This is an unique gesture on the part of Sri M.K.Alagiri, son of the Chief Minister. People could not find out the motive behind this. It is doubtful that because of this felicitation to Sri T.M.Soundararajan, people belonging to Sourashtra community will vote for DMK candidates.
Perhaps, if they select Sourashtra candidate for Madurai Constituency, there is a slight possibility of support by Sourashtra Community. It is to be seen whether they select a Sourashtra Candidate for Madurai Constituency in the ensuing General Elections.
