Malayanma also does not differ fundamentally from the vattezhuthu. Yet another script derived from the vattezhuthu was the Malayanma, which was commonly used south to Thiruvananthapuram. This script was more commonly used in the Cochin and Malabar areas than in Travancore. From the Vattezhuthu was derived another script called the kolezhuthu.Vattezhuthu was the early script used to write Malayalam.Vattezhuthu used as Malayalam alphabet during that time is similar to Tamil. Granthakshara was used to write Sanskrit in Kerala before Ezhuthachan's time. The Grantha alphabet is a descendant of the Brahmi alphabet and started to emerge during the 5th century AD.Total alphabets are about 48 in number, without the Dravidian characters like the ra and zha.Radhakrishnan in: Grantha, Vattezhuthu, Kolezhuthu, Malayanma, Devanagiri, Brahmi and Tamil alphabets, C.Radhakrishnan's Home Page On Chingam 1 in the Malayalam calendar, my greetings to the people of Kerala, and especially my constituents in Thiruvananthapuram!. A speaker of Malayalam or a member of a Malayalam-speaking group in Kerala is called a Malayali.įun fact: Malayalam-speaking people have their own calendar, which is also called Kollam Era and dates back to the 800s! The culture of the people who speak Malayalam might also be described using the word Malayalam-e.g., Malayalam traditions. #Prasanna making his Malayalam debut through Brothers Day /DU0QiulEJ3 So, if you see someone talking about Indian actors making their Malayalam debut, that just means they’re acting in a film in that language for the first time. Often, actors will work in several different languages to increase their opportunities and exposure. If Indian films were only made in Hindi, it would exclude a huge market. That’s because India has a lot of linguistic diversity. Indian films (generally known as Bollywood films) are produced in many different languages. One common context in which you might see it is in the film industry. Just as you would talk about French (the language) or French cinema, you can say that Malayalam is a distinguishing feature of Malayalam cinema. Malayalam is mostly used like any other word describing a particular language and culture. Originally, Malayalam just referred to a region, but gradually the term evolved to describe the language of the people in the Malayalam region. The word Malayalam itself comes from mala, meaning “hill, mountain,” perhaps combined with alam (“depths, place”) or al (“person”). Whereas we can say that Indic languages and European languages are descended in different ways from a common root, the ancestor to Dravidian languages is Proto-Dravidian, and Dravidian is the sole descendant from that branch of languages, of which Malayalam is a subgroup. Hindi and Sanskrit are two very well-known Indic languages.ĭravidian languages are not related to any other known family of languages. Indic languages are very distantly related to the languages of Europe, being part of the Indo-European family, but they are more widely spoken in northern India. Dravidian languages are common in southern India. Nevertheless, both of them are Dravidian languages. Malayalam is closely related to another language of the region, Tamil, although there’s scholarly disagreement about exactly how close they are. India is incredibly linguistically diverse, but many of its languages fall into two groups: Indic or Dravidian.
