What's new

What is your mother tongue ? What other languages you can read, write and speak ?

Had quite a few kerala konkani hostel mates back in the days. Predominantly from kanhangad & kasargod. That's how i picked up malayalam & gave me a chance to visit kerala quite so often.

I also had Mallu batch mates. I can understand bit of malayalam however, quite difficult to speak. However, out of all south Indian languages, I find malayam pretty pleasant to ears :)

by what I heard from my college mates(in the end 90s) , malayalam is hard to learn or even to speak. if you have achieved that, then kudos :enjoy:

You read my mind :D

Maybe.. but not for people from my neck of the woods... from coastal Karnataka, bordering Kerala. We have a lot in common!:-)

It is a hard language. but since we have a head start... that gives us the advantage!

:lol: a bit. It's a mixture of whole lot of local languages bruv. You find a lot of Malayalam, bit of tulu, bit of kannada. It's only spoken by local sunny muslims.

That's right. My friend Muqeem is a byari from Mangalore, when I first heard him talking to his folks, I thought he was speaking Malayalam however, later I came to know that it's "Bhelpuri/Khichdi" language :D

I know... it is a real funny language. quite dizzy. When they pronounce numbers, you would think they are talking in malayalam. But when you really hear them talk.. you'll get confused big time.
