விதைப்போம் மெய்தமிழை [Vidhaippom Mei Tamizhai] – Tamil New

Tamil language has 18 consonants – mey eluttukkal. Traditional grammarians have classified these 18 in to three groups of 6 letters each. This classification is done based on the method of articulation and hence the nature of these letters.

Vallinam (hard group,) Mellinam (soft group) and idaiyinam (medium group). All consonants are pronounced for a half unit (māttirai) time length when isolated (consonants combined with vowels will be pronounced with the time length of the vowel).

Beautifully illustrated book with 4 to 5 words to learn from each alphabet.
