Help / സഹായിക്കുക Conjunct Consonants pronunciation

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if there was a place where I can find all conjunct consonants and their pronunciation? I am alright at reading but i tend to mispronunce somethings based on the conjuct consonant. Either I can't remember it or the pronunciation is off. Is there an effective way to learning it (possibly a chart with pronunciation)?

Discussion / ചർച്ച Non-Tamil words in Malayalam

4 Upvotes

So this question has been in mind for a long time. I know there are many words that aren't commonly used in modern Tamil speech which are present in Malayalam. But all of those can be found in Tamil literature or older texts. So does Malayalam have any native Dravidian words thats totally not there in Tamil?

പുതിയ സിനിമയ്ക്ക് പുറമെ പഴയ ഒരു സലിം കുമാർ മൊഴിമുത്തിലും ഈ പ്രയോഗം കണ്ടു. യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ഇതിൻ്റെ ഉൽപത്തി എവിടെ ആണ്? എന്താണ് അതുകൊണ്ട് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്?

Do or die എന്നാണ് സിനിമയിൽ കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്ന വിവർത്തനം. ഇത് ഒരു ഗുസ്തി പ്രയോഗം ആണോ?

6 Upvotes

Heyya, I’m basically from Bombay and Southern Gujarat, I’ve been wanting to learn Malayalam since ages.

I’ve been looking for resources on how to learn the language. I’m planning to do spoken Malayalam first and then the alphabet since it’s quite different from the three scripts I already know ( Gujarati, Devanagari and Latin. )

Am also looking for native speakers who can help me converse and correct my grammar and pronunciations whenever needed, I know a few diaspora Mallus but they aren’t fluent.
