What it is
An encyclopedia article on tala in Indian music. Its Carnatic section gives the 35-tala aksharas matrix, the anga notation, the commonly used talas, and the six angas with their beat values.
Why it is useful here
An independent table of the 35 talas' totals and base formulas, plus the common talas, the six angas, and the 108-tala system mentioned in passing.

Verification
Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the page; the HTML title is 'Tala (music) - Wikipedia'. The aksharas matrix was parsed and compared: 35 of 35 totals agree, and all 7 base formulas (N-2-N-N and so on) agree. The Carnatic section carries a 'needs more citations' banner (December 2016), so it is treated as one source among several, and its 10-count and 14-count for the chapu talas is recorded as a counting variation.
