The Malabar script (Template:Langx, Template:Transliteration, Template:IPA) is a Brahmic script used commonly to write the Malabari Malayalam or Mappila Malayalam.[1] Like many other Indic scripts, it is an abugida, or a writing system that is partially “alphabetic” and partially syllable-based.
Overview
Malabar script is very similar to Malayalam script. However, some letters have different pronunciation. For example, വ (ba) in Malabar script is വ (va) in Malayalam script.
