nah amma Paki. Also a Jat, my people drove her people down into the junglist heart of the subcontinent. mwahahahaaaaa. Check dis from the net:
"With Tamil, Kota, Kodagu and Kannada, Malayalam belongs to the southern group of Dravidian languages. Its affinity to Tamil is the most striking. Proto-Tamil Malayalam, the common stock of Tamil and Malayalam apparently disintegrated over a period of four of five centuries from the ninth century on, resulting in the emergence of Malayalam as a language distinct from Tamil. As the language of scholarship and administration Tamil greatly influenced the early development of Malayalam. Later the irresistible inroads the Namboothiris made into the cultural life of Kerala accelerated the assimilation of many Indo-Aryan features into Malayalam at different levels."
