There’s a pretty respectable sized Malayalam community in North Texas. I heard this language a lot growing up. It is very liquid. And all the consonants appear to be retroflex. It sounds very beautiful when she speaks it.
I went to a liturgy at a Syriac Orthodox Church oh, and this was the primary language it was in. I don't think I had ever even heard of the language before that, but it's nice to see it on here.
മലയാള ഭാഷയെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള സംസാരം ആയതു കൊണ്ടുതന്നെ പരമാവധി ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വാക്കുകൾ ഒഴിവാക്കാമായിരുന്നു. കുട്ടി പറയുന്ന പല ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വാക്കുകൾക്കും പകരം നല്ല മലയാളം വാക്കുകൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. 👆 For language enthusiast, this is written form of Malayalam language
Not much. Mutual intelligibility is mostly unidirectional. Malayalam originates from Middle Tamil and actually preserves many of the features lost in Modern Tamil. A Malayali can understand a bit of Tamil with some effort.
Malayalam speakers can understand Tamil much better than Tamil speakers can understand Malayalam. But I attribute this mostly to the bigger media and political influence of the Tamil state.
@Hare Krishna one of the big differences is that malayalam incorporates a lot more sanskrit vocab than tamil, in this video itself she uses: bhayankar, nagaram, sahodar, rājyam, ādhyam, lokam, bhāgam, avasānam, pradhānam, kāranam, upakārapradham, strī, bhāsha, bhaksanam, chitram, shesham, kāryam, suhrt, jīvitam, manas, sahāyam, uttaram, paramāvadhi, varsham, vyatyāsam, santosham, pravartikkan, charcha, avasaram. If a speaker of another Indian language that uses a lot of sanskrit knew what he/she was looking for, they could understand a lot of these although the pronunciation and meanings are slightly different. But yeah, each of these is another word that a Tamil speaker probably wouldnt get.

The retroflex series has the letters t, th, d, dh, and n but there is an another series of ts and ds which are actually dental rather than retroflex.
Malayalam is a palindrome, it’s the same spelling as it is when it’s written backwards!
Malayalam = malayalaM
SBMyee Oh, it is!

Can Tamil speakers understand Malayalam? And would people of Malayalam comprehend what Tamil people are saying?
Not much. Mutual intelligibility is mostly unidirectional. Malayalam originates from Middle Tamil and actually preserves many of the features lost in Modern Tamil. A Malayali can understand a bit of Tamil with some effort.
Malayalam people can understand 80% of Tamil. Tamil people can understand 50% of Malayalam.
Malayalam language derived from old Tamil language.
Tamil native here, I could catch a few words and phrases and could make an attempt at understanding, but I didn't get much
