Wrong Category

edit

I've removed Category:Hijra (South Asia) from the main article. There is no proof that the character belonged that category. At best, because some context, Category:Transgender topics and religion is valid. --Muzammil (talk) 09:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Devanagari + Romanization of the final consonant

edit

Currently the infobox gives the Devanagari as इरावान्, the Sanskrit transliteration as Irāvāṇ, and the Tamil as அரவான். The final letter in the Sanskrit, , which refers to a dental nasal, is transliterated in the IAST as n, not ; the latter is used for , the retroflex nasal. The final character in the Tamil script, however, is ன், the alveolar nasal, usually Romanized as , and sometimes (inconsistently) transliterated into Devanagari as but more commonly just as , i.e. the usual dental nasal. I am not super familiar with Tamil, so I am not sure what the correct thing to do here is, but it seems that the current Sanskrit Romanization is certainly wrong; it should be Irāvān. However, maybe a Tamil transliteration should be included too, with ? What do you all think? Pinging @Redtigerxyz as one of the main contributors to the article.
