tamil-proverb-finder

Tamil Proverb Finder works with Python in Terminal (Basic Python Script) This is a Tamil proverb finder. Entering a word in it will display the proverb that contain that word. It works best on Linux. If your Linux terminal doesn't display Tamil properly, download the Konsole and view it. This finder tool created for adding Usage Examples in Wikidata Tamil Lexemes. Note that I don't know Python well. You can develop this if you wish too.
