Inflection is generally marked via suffixation. Its pronominal system has “natural” gender, a form that marks the gender of humans masculine or feminine while designating all nonhuman nouns as neuter.
It uses subject–object–verb word order and has a nominative-accusative case-marking pattern. Like the Dravidian languages generally, Malayalam has a series of retroflex consonants (/ḍ/, /ṇ/, and /ṭ/) made by curling the tip of the tongue back to the roof of the mouth. Koleluttu has letters to represent the entire corpus of sounds from both Dravidian and Sanskrit.
Known as Koleluttu (“Rod Script”), it is derived from the Grantha script, which in turn is derived from Brahmi. An early and extensive influx of Sanskrit words influenced the Malayalam script. The earliest record of the language is an inscription dated to approximately 830 ce. Malayalam evolved either from a western dialect of Tamil or from the branch of Proto-Dravidian from which modern Tamil also evolved.
