Could anyone point me to a resource listing the syllable structures of natural languages? You can usually find what your looking for, if you do a little digging, but after searching unsuccessfully for the syllable structure of proto-Dravidian, I wondered if people had been so drustrated before.
Alternatively, would you be interested in making this thread such a resource?

The Dravidian Languages by Bhadriraju Krishnamurti Cambridge University Press, Jan 16, 2003 - Foreign Language Study - 545 pages ISBN 1139435337, 9781139435338

No problem. I found it using a simple Google Books search. If you are careful with your search criteria you can find what you're looking for 99.9999% of the time.

Yes, but it's a very basic distinction. All they distinguish between is (C)V, (C)(R)V(C), and anything more complex than that.
