IVB029 (4).JPG appears to display in Malayalam script declined nominal forms (like in the SIddharûpam grammar), e.g. dyau.h, divo, diva.h etc.

Claire Brizon (cc-ed), a colleague from the Bern University, recently sent me photographs of palm-leaf manuscripts brought in the 18th century from India to Switzerland by Swiss mercenaries (Polier, Villaret).
I could identify the language and script of 2 Tamil manuscripts. There are 4 other items: in Malayalam, Singhalese and Telugu/Kannada, it seems.
Could knowledgeable ones kindly confirm/infirm my guesses and say more about the contents of the manuscripts?
Here are the pictures:

Please contact directly Claire Brizon <claire.brizon@ikg.unibe.ch>.
The manuscript BCU_Lausanne_G180A is written in Burmese script (used for Burmese, Pali, Mon). I am not proficient enough to make more of it. At first sight it doesn't look like Pali.
Hope it helps
