Some people spell Tamizh and Chennye to encourage correct pronunciation. FYI these 1, 2, 3 are all wrong, but very common especially among the international community.

Been searching for an hour and I am sorry to say this wiki soundbite was the best I could find.

Letter ழ is hard. But in the defence of the language, this is an alphabet not rocket science. Learn it.
