**List: Malayalam Ministry
Bible ( ബൈബിള് )
Malayalam...
"Malayalam, a Dravidian language, is spoken by
about 17
million people in Kerala, the state situated in the extreme south-
west of the Indian subcontinent.
There is notable early and
modern Malayalam literature. The literary usage has traditionally
employed a considerable stock of
Sanskrit loan words. Malaya-
lam orthography is thought to have developed out of Grantha
writing, with later influence by Tamil
script.
The Malayalam Bible, unique among the Scriptures of Asia, was
prepared for a Christian community, rather than as a my.
project. The Malayalam-speaking
Syrian Church in
Travancore,
a body of Christians claiming descent from the apostolic
ministry of St. Thomas, had no printed
Bible in their own
tongue. Thus it was primarily to give the Bible to these fellow
Christians that the first Malayalam translation was undertaken." --1000
