Malayalam Language Course

Malayalam is the principal language of the South Indian state of Kerala and also of the Lakshadweep Islands (Laccadives) of the west coast of India.
Malayalis who - males and females alike - are almost totally literate, constitute 4 percent of the population of India and 96 percent of the population of Kerala. It is one of the 23 official languages of India, spoken by around 36 million people. A native speaker of Malayalam is called a "Malayali". Malayalam is closely related to Tamil, from which it is estimated to have separated about the 10th century AD.

Demographics:
Kerala is home to 3.44% of India's people, and - at 819 persons per km² - its land is three times as densely settled as the rest of India. However, Kerala's population growth rate is far lower than the national average. Whereas Kerala's population more than doubled between 1951 and 1991 - adding 156 lakh (15.6 million) people to reach a total of 291 lakh (29.1 million) residents in 1991 - the population stood at less than 320 lakh (32 million) by 2001. Kerala's people are most densely settled in the coastal region, leaving the eastern hills and mountains comparatively sparsely populated
