No need for words, for the rest of our lives

Malayalam and Tamil have a lot of overlap though! I speak Tamil, and there are a lot of similar words!!!

Exactly! Which is why it’s surprising to me that I need subtitles when watching a Tamil movie…Sure I can understand words that have exactly the same meaning in Malayalam, but completely understanding a sentence is a bit difficult for me. It’s weird because I can understand Hindi and Urdu better (probably because of 20+ years of watching Bollywood movies and Indian/Pakistani serials).

I speak Tamil and I like to think I understand Malayalam… But I can’t. They sound so similar and yet I can’t make any sense of it
