Vatteluttu or Vattezhuthu (Tamil: வட்டெழுத்து, Vaṭṭeḻuttu and Malayalam: വട്ടെഴുത്ത്, Vaṭṭeḻuttŭ, IPA: [ʋɐʈːeɻut̪ːɨ̆]) was an alphasyllabic writing system of south India (Tamil Nadu and Kerala) and Sri Lanka used for writing the Tamil and Malayalam languages.[4][5]
Vatteluttu belonged to the group of Tamil-Malayalam scripts among the Southern Brahmi derivatives.[4][6] The script was used for centuries in inscriptions and manuscripts of south India.[7]
