Lingua Malabar Tamul or simply Malabar Tamil is a variant of Tamil language[1] promoted by European Missionaries in southern parts of Kerala state like Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts before they started promoting Malayalam language among newly converted Christians.[2] Malabar Tamil differs significantly from standard Tamil in its selection of vocabulary. Initially Malabar Tamil was printed using Roman script.[3] Later on, printing using Tamil script became widespread.[4]
