  1. Egalitarian Language Representation in Language Models: It All Begins with Tokenizers (2025 · 11 citations)
    Tokenizers from English-centric LLMs handle complex abugida scripts such as Tamil, Sinhala and Hindi poorly.
  2. Evaluating Linguistic Knowledge of LLMs in Tamil: The ILAKKANAM Benchmark (2026 · 1 citation)
    Tamil is agglutinative and computationally low-resource, yet LLM evaluation for it relies mostly on multilingual suites that are often translated from English or cover few phenomena.
