I always found Malayalam a sweet language. It is a bit sing a song when spoken.
It is an interesting thing to note that most of the south indian languages have lot of words with a bit of change in the sound so similar. Dr.Unni what does thou have to say here?
N
Now that is something I must say!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you atleast know a few words in malayalam
Wife doesnt understand u in any language?? how can that be
Pyar ki basha haina
N
I can understand a wee bit of malayalam. More so coz my B-i-l is from Kochi (a konk from Kochi-Ernakulam). Also since I am well versed in Tamil (can R/w/s) it helps too!
N
<<Yesterday I was woken up by the sound of Sanskrit slokas in an American accent --- my daughter saying her prayers aloud before leaving for work>>
Be happy that they are saying their prayers in Sanskrit even tho it has an accent
N
Well atleast he understands "HIS WIFE's LANGUAGE"
N
To chip in...yes, it's a flowing language. Very mellifluos....and in that sense, a bit like French in the Franco-Prussian group of languages.
Hits
Here is something I found -
Of the many theories of origin, the most popular ones claim that Malayalam was born out of the confluence of Tamil and Sanskrit, that it originated out of Sanskrit alone, and that both Malayalam and Tamil came out of a single proto-language. In his Comparative Grammar of Dravidian Languages (1875), Bishop Robert Caldwell argued that Malayalam evolved out of Tamil and that the process took place during the Sangam period (first five centuries of the Common Era) when Kerala belonged to the larger political unit called Tamilakam, the apogee of Dravidian civilization.
N
ps: Btw hits!! Are you a malayalee too????????????????
OOOOOhhh good good we have one more malayalee among ourselves
We must make a statistics on language basis of the members
N
It is true that Malayalam is a sweet language and v would love to teach our children to Read & write Malayalam. But here we are already painfully seeing them learning English, Arrabic and hindi from their frist standard. So we don't know how to force them to learn Malayalam too.
In my humble opinion, the best way to teach children a language is for the parents to speak only that language at home. The kids will learn English and Hindi in school (and Arabic in the Middle-East). The parents do not have to teach them those languages.
I learnt this lesson from my own experience. At the time I moved abroad from India, my elder daughter was 6 years old. She then spoke Tamil fluently (my wife is a Tamilian). Within 6 months, my daughter stopped speaking Tamil but would answer in English the questions put to her in Tamil. But then, the only common language in our home is English, since my Tamil is scanty and my wife's Malayalam is negligible.
Whereas I've never lived in Kerala, never studied Malayalam, cannot read or write in the language. Yet it is for me, literally my mother-tongue, for that was the only language in which I could communicate with my mother. If I speak Malayalam, however badly, it is only because it was spoken at home.
I was all admiration for a couple I met. The husband is from India and the wife from Switzerland. Their two sons spoke Hindi, German, French and Italian, apart from English! The parents take the credit for that.

So your house will become a language school.
Tres not fair
I think both you and she should learn each others' mother tongue and the kids should learn both languages too
N
If you happen to shift somewhere in Mideast, you will have a combination that includes Arabic as well. It will become a totally new language
Oh Well....Unni......I wasn't aware of that situation in your household.....Must've had quite a tough time in the beginning, right?
Also....I agree with you Tres......I stay in Mumbai......and I've seen innumerable......(really lost count....guess almost 90%) Malayalee families using Hindi as their main spoken language at home......And in all the cases, the kids at home.....are not so confident with Malayalam.......(can speak a bit broken Malayalam though)....Definitely the fault lies with the parents.......If this tradition goes on.......in the future.......All the languages (not only Malayalam) will die a slow death....definitely in terms of quality....
Another thing to note here is that everyone knows the employment situation in Kerala.....and with all the communalism prevelant there....More and more ppl are migrating elsewhere.....either to "Gelf" or to other parts of India, in search of jobs.......once they start a family there.....thats it.......the kids and parents and everyone is conversing in Hindi or English.....or some such language........Possibly the families sticking to Kerala as their home, may not have this bad a problem.....But with more ppl getting out of Kerala.....the future looks uncertain...........
(And even in the cases in other cities where the parents or children speak Malayalam at home.....its not the traditional Malayalam that we know of.......they speak a cocktail kind of Malayalam......with other local accents and words coming in.....even the parents....)
Yes BhanuVarma, Hits and Tres......Exactly the kind of thing I was talking about......This is the same point I wanted to drive home......And BhanuVarma..You are absolutely right.......I've too seen this happen only in case of Mallus......and the worst part is.....they are shameless enough to openly acknowledge about their poor knowledge of their mother-toungue......to the extent that....they make a joke of it...and laugh themselves..... .....and they go on and on in English talking about their poor hand at Malayalam......as if that's a status symbol of sorts!!!!! Really strange are the ways of the world.....Hmmm......
Namaskaaram......I'm in a nice mood to share an old anecdote that happened with me when I was about 6-7 years old....
(Writing this in English for the 'benefit' of all the non-mallus...and all the mallus who aren't confident with their mother-toungue... )
It so happened that....during one of my first school vacations...(I must've been in 2nd standard or something.... )...I had been to Kerala with my family....to visit our native places......And one of the important stops in our long trip was "Irinjalakuda" (Trichur district), which happens to be my mother's native......And one of the days during our stay there....my grandmother took me on a round to the nearby homes...to visit people over there.....(some old friends of theirs.....and some neighbours etc.)
And I was a boy who would mingle with anybody easily at that time... .....
Now comes the bomber......I didn't know a single letter in MALAYALAM!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
And we were sitting outside one of the houses...in the porch.....and my grandmother and the lady of that house were in deep conversation......and I was just having a nice time...looking here and there.....and smiling at them......
Then...that lady suddenly started to converse with me.....And Then I suddenly realised...."HEYY.....What is she talking....I can't understand anything!!! " (What an early realisation!!!;)) But I was not a boy who was going to leave it so easily......I decided to try my best to answer her properly.....(Irrespective of whether I understood her or not!!! )
And she asked me some simple questions....like my name......where do I stay etc.....which I could understand in some way....and I was "Smartly" answering her in one word......(Name..place etc....) And finally...she asked me a question......"Nee Sukkoolil (School) pohunnale? Leavil ivade vannutundalle........Ninde School eppo "Pookum"????"
Now.....I understood 99% of what she asked......but had no CLUE of what "Pookum" means!!!! But I didn't want to "GIVE UP" at the same time.....(Hehehehe.....what a kid I must've been.....) And I gave her a blank look....and repeated the word "Pookum???" (In an interrogative fashion....)
And..Paavam.....that lady....said...."Pokum...paranyaal......June, July, August.....angene.......ippo aana pookunnade????"
Now......the "SMART" kid that I was.......only understood....that the question had "something on earth to do with the name of a MONTH!!!!" Had no clue what she meant.........but I knew...she needed some name of the month as the answer....:LOL... And I coolly said....."July" (Only because that was one of the names she took....) And she replied....."Ohh..ohh.....Julaaayil pookunno sukkool......angene aanelle......" And I was Ssooooooo proud that I 'managed' the situation so well......without knowing anything in that language.....
Only much later....after getting to know the language better......did I recollect that incident..and realise that she actually wanted to know when was my school re-opening.... (Which was supposed to be in June)...and I had so nicely said July to her!!!!! Hehehhee.....
That was my 'first' "BRUSH" with this wonderful language.......Can't help laughing whenever I recollect this one!!!! Btw.....this was only the FIRST of the Mannnyyyyyy such incidents....that were to follow....

Btw....Unni Ji.....that was one of the more 'decent' versions of Hindi that I've heard!!!
Actually when I visited Mumbai I could hardly understand the Hindi that was spoken. Same with Hyderabad. Haridwar was different thankfully.
Yes Priya.....quite different colloquial usage..tones...accents...words.... everything.....the regional differences affecting the language in a big way....
Btw......the whole of HYD follows the same Hindi....(the kind of Mehmood hindi used by him in some of the movies.....) but within one single city of Mumbai......you can find many different types of Hindi spoken at diff places/ppl etc.

Priya......"Unmentionable Greats"??? Lol!!!! Hehehehe...
Yenney aarengilum villicho? "Great" ennu kaeta pola thoni.
You called poor Shyam an 'ox'. The 'moron' reference, however, is most-uh appropriate wunly.
Can Some one translate the following lyrics to malayalam.
It is from the song 'Vaisaga sandhye '
vaisaga sandhye nin chundilenthe aruma sagithan kirana kaanthiyo
Omale parayu nee vinnil ninnum paari vanna lavanyamo
( what is Lavanyam mean?) what the whole line mean?
then the line
hridaya mukula thandriyeki devamrutham( what is devamrutham?) what the whole line means?
then the line
malarilathil maduvasantham poothu vidarnnu
rathinadiyil jalatharangam neele muzhangi(No idea about whole line)
Don't wonder even without knowing the whole meaning this is my alltime favourite malayalam song.I may have heared this song minimum 500 times.Older malayalam songs are too difficult to understand.

HI
Actually I don't know the pure Malayalam.What I know is spoken and written Malayalam...Enikku malayalam songs ishttam illatthathinu kaaranam I can't understand it's heavy lyrics(older songs)..For example...there is song'Pramadavanam veendum'...I don't know ...hwhat it meant....I can understand Hindi song lyrics better than these songs...May be bcs I am back in Malayalam or Lyric writers are too ahead us in Malayalam.Still I enjoy those olden goldies.
Pinne I llnever forget Malayalam...I am too nostalgic about my Village,My Calicut,My School,My college(Devagiri &Govt Arts).My University(Calicut)..My Keralam and My India..But for the time being I am busy ...that is why I often not comes in this thread..
by the way...I typed all in English..sorry for that.
Regds Ashraf
N.B:....I have seen that Priyaji is busy in Noorjahan section...Really I don't know who is this NoorJahan?...I never heared about her..Is she famous than Geeta Dutt to have a separate section?..Then why I did n't hear about her
Ashraf - saare !! Priya eytatthi ningallku sheriyaaytti kodukkum !! Noorjahaan ariyillae !! My heartfelt sympathies to you
Pssst... actually enikkyum adhhehatthu patthi sheriyaayittu ariyilla ! Peyru maathram keyytittu unnaayirunnu. Got propoerly introduced thru HF. Actually Priya, Im quite proud (and jealous ) of you. Being from Kerala, u have such a beautiful taste and knowledge in a Pakistani singer is indeed commendable . And me being from Bombay, have no clue about her (Was more busy gathering info about Rafi ). Thanks to you and others at NJ forum, I'm just beginning to collect a few gems and enjoy her style of singing. Thanks so much
You actually epitomise my own signature ! (*which doesnt put me in such a good light though *)
Noorjehan nyamuude deshattide paatukaari tanne aayirunnu Vivek........Partition kazhinyata tanne ayaal 'Pakistan' il poyee.......Adinde mumbil ayaal nyammude bhaarathathinde valya prasiddhamaana paatukaari aayirunnu....So it would be wrong to call her a completely "Pakistani" singer..... Endu paraynnu Priya??? (Infact I was surprised that Priya hadn't commented on this one earlier..... )
Ya Shyam ... me asking to be forgiven But nevertheless, the point I wanted to stress was Priya's efforts to follow her career and have such a huge collection of her songs.
AS AB wud say ..... Main ... Aur Meri Agnyaanta
Whoooooooooooo!!!! Nyaan orthu ee forum chattu poyi ennu.
Excuse the English but cannot type loads on Madam Noor Jehan in Malayalam na. Noor Jehan for those who do not know was born in Pakistan (tho it was all India then)--she started her acting career as a child artist. Very soon she began singing too. Classically trained and diff from the heavy voices of the day she was a huge hit. By age 15 or so she was heroine in movies and her singing was the rage. She was called the Mallika-e-Tarannum!!! Lataji began her career in the Noor Jehan mould. In fact for her first audiotion she sang a Madam song. During Partition Noor Jehan went back to her home area and became the premier singer of Pakistan. Noor Jehan and Lataji remained friends till Madam passed away in 2001.
I got to know Madam only after her death though I had heard of her from childhood thro the references in articles on lataji. I happened to see a song on the neta nd listened to it. Got hooked. After Asha, no voice, no singing had touched me like this--the feeling that transcends time and space--the feeling of a rapport that is beyond understanding. Anyway I became her devoted fan.
And Vivek, bheek kaun maag raha hai. Music is universal. It has no boundaries. It just touches the heart.
Pinne Ashraf saare enniku Malayalam translate chaiyyan arindyooda. Nyaanum manasilakattu kondanu Malayalam paatu kuravu kelkunathu. Unni Bengal-il valarnathalle. Pullikyum translate chaiyyan pattoola ennu vicharikyunu. Hits is Ur man!!!
Priya !! ..ye kya keh diya tumne ...bheek !! o from my signature
I was referring to the trend of 'borrowing' from and even apeing western tunes nowadays. Yes... muzik has no boundaries and esp music from the sub-continent which doesnt recognise the LOC. Me thankful to you for introducing me to another khazaana from apna hi ghar
Signature -- bahut kam use karta hoon.. dont wanna jhadofy everyone with my signature, u see
As for kiska sher hai.... dont know Actually remember Naushadsaab quoting this one in an interview when asked about the decline of Indian music in Indian films ! And it kinda fits in my philosophy too
Yes, me too like simple western instrumentals ...except that I really dont have much taste in it ...would love to develop some taste.. but Hindustani sangeet se fursat hi nahin milti... ..and ab after joining HF to poochho hi mat !

WOW!!! How interesting...... The last post on Tamil Forum made by Unni Saar..... and the one on the Malayalam forum, made by Nimii!!!!!!!
endaa mone?? Endaa samasarikkum?!?!?!
N
Idaam Nimii??? Place ennano udeshikyunathu? Ennal sthalam ennu parayu.
Vellom manasilayo mole?
!!! Nimzzz... u can understand Malayalam !!! To phir Priya ne kya kaha, bataao zara ....
Waise both me and GKS failed to spot that Idam is Tamil !!!! Our vocabs are such a khichdi of all languages !!!
And GKS : U cant post the same post in two threads consecutively !!!! Thats violation of Rule No. 7 !!!
Vivz what I spoke was tamalyalam
Vivz Priya is correcting me regarding the usage of the word idam.. which in malayalam should be sthalam.. yaani place.. Idam = in tamil means place so whenever I dont know the mallu word I use tamil word.. same goes with kannada too he he he
N
Now how shld I know that that word means something bad in malayalam
N
Haan??? Idam does not mean anything bad in Malayalam as far as I know!!!!
Idatthinde artham malayaalatthil valledum mosham aana aaraa paranyadha !!!
I wouldn't be surprised if "idam" is used in Palghat Malayalam. But otherwise it would be "sthalam".
Enikkyum kurachhu Malayalam ariyaam!
'Korachu korachu' wunly, alle Unnietta?
Yes...... all that's fine...... but right.... as Visuja said....... Nimii's comment went as a bouncer for me too!!!! Does "Idam" mean anything "BAD" in Malayalam???? I had no clue!!!!!
Me thought u were making fun of my statement
Ayyo enda daivame!!
N
Ayyo!!!! Kya re Nimii...... khud kuch bhi soch leti ho...... kaise bhi matlab bana leti ho....... And upar se...... Confusing us!!! I never made any sort of fun of ur statement.... infact..... my reply was 'in favour' of ur statement!!!! And for that...... this is what I got!!!! Ended up confusing the little bit Malayalam that I know!!!!
You know what let us put the blame on Vivz
Oi Vivz mone evvide poyi?!?!?!?
N
YEAHH!!!!! WOW!!!!! GR888 Idea Ganging up together... and putting it on Vivz!!!!! LOL
Oye??? Vivzetta Evide Poyadaa???? (Rofflll... )
Vivz is the bali ka aadu *is it aadu in malayalam for bakra*
Yetta gone to buy the petta from the petti kadai
N
hi
Look like there is a lot of fun going on here. .Really I liked to be here.but since I don't have net at home I can't.
Nimiiji has learned a lot of Malayalam.Beware Nimmiji I ll speak kannada soon.wait for some time.In our office we have a secretory from Manglore.I am going to learn from her.
Simply joking.Ek hindustani hote hue bhi barabar hindi mein baat nahi kar saktha mein or bade bade baath karthe hain. waqt nahi milta hain extracurricular activities keliye.Or jab bhi thoda time free milta hain computer pe apna favourite gaane hain na usi mein kho jaathe hain ...ky karega.
by the way hi all friends...hamara hf meet ki kya khabar hain?koi chance hai ?zaroor sab sangeet premiyom se milna chahta hum.
bye
Ashraf.

I'm damn sure you are going to stun Nimii with some awesome Kannada..... (And maybe Konkani too?? ) the next time Have a great time with the secretary... (I meant the language coaching!!! ) Hehehe.... All the Best!!!
Well......... HF meet is still under discussion...... I'm positive it will happen..... only WHEN & WHERE is the question...... Hope the plans become concrete soon... and we meet up!!! I am sure its going to be really great!!!
