Regional languages in google maps showing wrong

Recently in India Google Maps displays the regional languages text such as Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi etc. But when i viewed some places the regional languages displaying wrong. For example Colachel in Tamilnadu is குளச்சல்  . But its shown as கொளச்சல். Same as Kalakkad , களக்காடு showing as காலக்காடு   Any way to correct the language.

Hi @SUBASH,

 

For POIs that we can edit, we can suggested an edit to correct them.

 

For POIs and Features that we cannot edit, use Send feedback to inform the Maps team.

 

If it is a large scale and systematic issue - like all road names, city names, region names, etc,  are wrong, then post the details in Connect's Feedback and Feature Requests board.
