 |

this may be easy for some of you, but still, i wanna see if you guys know it 
ரொட்டி ஒரு வகை உணவுப் பொருளாகும். அது மாவு (பொதுவாக கோதுமை மாவு), தண்ணீர் மற்றும் உப்புக் கலவையை யீஸ்ட் உதவியுடன் நுண்ணுயிர் பகுப்பு (ferment) செய்வதன் மூலம் உருவாக்கப்படுகிறது. மேலை நாடுகளில் ரொட்டி ஒரு முக்கிய உணவுப் பொருளாகும். பீட்சாவின் அடிப்புறமும், சான்ட்விச்சின் வெளிப்புறமும் ரொட்டியினால் ஆனவை.
good luck!

Or Malayalam? I think they use the same alphabet, and I don't read it enough to know which is which.

| Could be. I don't know a single Tamil letter, so I couldn't possibly say. |

I (started to) learned Tamil in India (or at least they started to teach it to me) when I was eight years old. I remember only a little vocabulary and only a few glyphs from the abugida.
ம் is [m]
ம is [ma]
ரொ is [unknown letter][ra][i]
(If I remember correctly.)
I don't recognize any of the words in this particular text so I can't be sure it's Tamil; but it's written in Tamil script. |

If not Tamil, but not Malayalam because it's not the right alphabet, then how about Telugu? Does that use the Tamil script?

Telugu is extremely closely related to Tamil; but they don't use the same script. Telugu script; Tamil script. |

WHS. But I'll just guess "Hindi". Not for any good reason. |

Could also be Nepali, which uses Devanagari as well. Or Sanskrit, of course.
I'm inclined to go for Sanskrit. I don't think Hindi uses the dot over the vowel as a nasal sign, nor the colon-shaped breathing at the end of words. And, Hindi does use a diagonal line under consonants to show they don't have the assumed short a, and I'd have expected at least one. As for Nepali, I don't think that's an IE language, is it? The words here look long enough and multi-syllable enough that I don't think it's Nepali, although that part is totally guesswork.

Neapolitan. Considered a dialect of Italian, spoken in the Naples area. Called "napulitana" on Wikipedia.

| Well, I got the romance part right. Neapolitan is spelled really weirdly. |
