Arabi Malayalam

Arabi Malayalam is a special way of writing and speaking language in India that mixes two different languages together: Arabic and Malayalam.

Now, Malayalam is a language that is spoken by people in the South Indian state of Kerala. It has its own unique alphabet and way of speaking that makes it different from other Indian languages. Malayalam is written from left to right, just like in English.

On the other hand, Arabic is a language that is spoken by people in many different countries, including the Middle East and North Africa. Arabic also has its own unique alphabet, and it is written from right to left instead of from left to right like Malayalam.

When people mix these two languages together, they create a new way of speaking and writing that is called Arabi Malayalam. This means that they take some words from Arabic and some words from Malayalam and use them together to form sentences and phrases.

For example, in Arabi Malayalam, people might say "shukran" which means "thank you" in Arabic, and "chakka" which means "jackfruit" in Malayalam. When you put these two words together, they create a new phrase in Arabi Malayalam which means "thank you, jackfruit".

This way of speaking and writing is often used by people who live in Kerala and have connections with Arab countries, or people who practice Islamic religion as it contains a lot of Arabic words. It creates a unique blend of languages and brings together different cultures and traditions.
