Grammar students, linguists, and researchers presented their own theories regarding Malayalam’s beginnings. One of Malayalam’s most orthodox notions was that it emerged from Sanskrit. Some academics think Malayalam was born in old Prakrit. Another school of thought is that tribes in the forests have spoken a language that has been blended with Dravidian, evolved into Malayalam through the years. Linguists were also surprised to learn how Malayalam and Tamil remained different in many areas despite having the same roots. There are some unverified claims that Malayalam could have emerged out of the Tamil language, other people argue that Malayalam emerged out of a Dravidian’s language and is at par with Tamil.
Let’s now see how you can become good at your Malayalam class.
Every language requires guidance and practising. You cannot learn a language simply by practising it or simply through a lot of guidance. They both must complement each other as they go hand-in-hand when applied well. Similarly, if you have guidance in learning the language of Malayalam, you also need to practise it as much as you can. Learning any language is not an easy feat. It requires extreme determination, time and effort. With the right combination of all three of them along with appropriate guidance, you will most definitely become proficient in any language including Malayalam. Let’s say, you have the right guidance through the classes that you have enrolled on. The next stop would be to practise it as much as you can. You also need to make good of the guidance you are receiving. So you need to keep two things in mind.
Number one would be to concentrate carefully in all your classes. Number two would be to practise as much as you can, whenever you can and however you can. All these things together will help you become good at your Malayalam class. So now the question would be, how do you practise the language well? This has a pretty simple answer. As mentioned previously, you have to pay close attention to whatever your guide or teacher is teaching you. Make note of everything they teach you. Once the class is over, brief yourself through everything you did throughout the class. After which, you can practice everything they have taught you in a more advanced manner. For example, if your guide teaches you complex proverbs or slang in Bangla, then try searching for a few more and understanding the meaning and applicability of each of them in different situations.
This will help you a lot. By the time you go back to your class the next day, you have already completed quite a lot and have understood a lot more than the teacher would have expected you to do. In this manner, all the different skills that your teacher teaches you should be practised daily at home on your own. A guide or a teacher is only there to guide you. The job of practising and grasping things remains with you. That is the part that nobody else can do except you, yourself. Along with this, you cannot expect your teacher to teach you everything without you practising a single thing. Therefore as I said, concentrate and practice daily. With these two things, you will definitely become excellent in your Malayalam class.
Finally,
A fresh understanding about Malayalam has been established by researchers knowledgeable with modern language history and comparative literature. Today, all are united on the view that Dakshina Dravidian family, included Malayalam together with Tamil, Kotha, Todak, Kodak and Kannada. Malayalam is certainly close to Tamil because Tamil and Malayalam had a same-origin at one time in history. However, 9th century documents and proclamations, show Malayalam’s growth as an independent language. Tamil and Malayalam were probably distinct languages in four or five centuries (9th to 13th centuries). Although the spoken language of the era had to be recreated, it never materialised. Malayalam was the last one to create literary works of its own among four major Dravidian languages.
