Pandy Malayalam

Pandy Malayalam[1] or Pandyan Malayalam is a dialect of Malayalam spoken in those regions of Kerala which were once part of the Pandyan kingdom.[2] It is the most spoken[3] dialect in the district of Trivandrum and, according to an 1875 work by Robert Caldwell, this was also the case then in southern parts of Kollam district.[4]
