One of the new features in Tiger is the ability to write Tamil using the InaiMathi font and the Anjal and Tamil99 Input Methods. These two keyboards will unfortunately not display on Keyboard Viewer, which makes it hard to use them if one is not already familiar with their layouts. Here are online references that explain how they work.
For Tamil99:

For Anjal:

An alternative keyboard with the same layout as Tamil99, which does display in Keyboard Viewer, can be downloaded from this site (T99Sub.keylayout):
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/fs/FileSharing9.html
If one selects T99Sub first and then switches to Tamil99, Keyboard Viewer should show the correct layout.
Also available at this site is a layout (TamilPC.keylayout) as used in WinXP. This works differently from the others in that the dependent vowels are input using their own separate keys (aa=e, i=f, ii=r, u=t, uu=g, e=z, ee=s, ai=w, o=`, oo=a, au=q).
