Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I like your script. It is based on Pallava, right?

Thanks :) It's not derived from Pallava, but you're definitely on the right track.

It has been written that there is nothing new under the sun.

(I still have trouble with uvulars so the [q] allophone of /q/ can be realized as a glottal stop. They're not as much of a problem in Kannow but that's because dorsal consonant quality is mostly actually realized on the vowels.)
