I have a complete and working tamil99 input method at https://git.systemreboot.net/tamil99/about/ It's also packaged for Guix. See https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/emacs-tamil99-0.1.2/

Maybe, I'll try to get it accepted into emacs upstream. WDYT?

I just sent a patch adding the tamil99 input method to bug-gnu-emacs. See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58070 Since Emacs maintainers are unlikely to know the Tamil language, it would be very helpful if someone here were to provide feedback and catch any shortcomings early. Thanks!

The tamil99 input method has now been added to the development version of Emacs. See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58070#41 This issue may now be closed.

Thanks @arunisaac for your code and pushing to upstream. It works well.
