Discover the rich linguistic and cultural tapestry of the Mappila Muslims of Kerala in “Arabic Malayalam: Linguistic Cultural Traditions.” This vital sociolinguistic study by M.H. Ilias explores the unique Arabi Malayalam language, a tradition now facing extinction. Delve into its fascinating oral and written heritage, examining its role in rituals, lifecycle events, and performative occasions. The book highlights how Arabi Malayalam reflects a history of trade and faith-induced cosmopolitanism, connecting Kerala with regions like Southern Yemen, East Africa, and Southeast Asia. It also critically analyzes the historical skepticism towards Arabi Malayalam literature within ‘secular-national’ frameworks, repositioning its significance in cultural and historical narratives. An essential read for those interested in South Asian Islam, linguistics, and cultural history.
