# foreignthon-ta
|
|
|
|
Tamil language pack for [ForeignThon](https://foreignthon.keshavanand.net/) — write Python in தமிழ்.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install foreignthon foreignthon-ta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
**`fizzbuzz.ta.py`**
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
நிரல்பாகம் fizzbuzz(n):
|
|
ஆக i உள்ளே வரம்பு(1, n + 1):
|
|
i % 15 == 0 @@ஆனால்:
|
|
பதிப்பி("FizzBuzz")
|
|
i % 3 == 0 @@இல்லைஆனால்:
|
|
பதிப்பி("Fizz")
|
|
i % 5 == 0 @@இல்லைஆனால்:
|
|
பதிப்பி("Buzz")
|
|
மற்றபடி:
|
|
பதிப்பி(i)
|
|
|
|
fizzbuzz(20)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This uses Tamil's natural SOV word order — the condition comes first, then the keyword with `@@`. See [Postfix Syntax](https://foreignthon.keshavanand.net/postfix-syntax/) for details.
|
|
|
|
Compiles to standard Python:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def fizzbuzz(n):
|
|
for i in range(1, n + 1):
|
|
if i % 15 == 0:
|
|
print("FizzBuzz")
|
|
elif i % 3 == 0:
|
|
print("Fizz")
|
|
elif i % 5 == 0:
|
|
print("Buzz")
|
|
else:
|
|
print(i)
|
|
|
|
fizzbuzz(20)
|
|
```

## Postfix syntax
|
|
|
|
Tamil is SOV — the condition naturally comes before the keyword. The `@@` operator lets you write it that way:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# prefix style (also valid)
|
|
ஆனால் x > 0:
|
|
பதிப்பி(x)
|
|
|
|
# postfix style — natural Tamil order
|
|
x > 0 @@ஆனால்:
|
|
பதிப்பி(x)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both compile identically. Decompile standard Python with postfix output:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fpy decompile script.py --lang ta --postfix
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Start a project
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fpy new myproject --lang ta
|
|
cd myproject
|
|
fpy run src/main.ta.py
|
|
```
