Malayala is the language spoken predominantly in the beautiful
state of Kerala, an increasingly popular tourist destination on the
tropical Malabar coast of south-western India. Malayalam is spoken
by around 36 million people. Its native speakers are called
"Malayalis". The language is also spoken in the union territories
of Lakshadweep and Pondicherry, and by populations all over the
world. Malayalam has a rich literary tradition and its speakers are
among India's foremost intellectuals. Belonging to the family of
Dravidian languages and closely related to Tamil, the language
spoken in the neighbouring state Tamil Nadu, Malayalam developed a
script of its own. It is also, interestingly, the longest
palindromic language name in English. This essential resource
provides an extensive two-way dictionary, comprehensive phrasebook,
and basic grammar. To aid the English speaker, all Malayalam
entries are presented in the Roman alphabet. The native script is
also introduced, however, along with a detailed pronunciation
guide. Guidance is offered to travellers for various everyday life
situations, as well as useful common vocabulary items and an
introduction to the arts and culture of Kerala.
