  Malayali
It has thus been natural that many of the Malayalis who inhabit the coastal area look to the sea for fishing and trade, and conversely that numerous foreign maritime powers have looked to the former principalities of Kerala for trade, religious converts, and sometimes slaves or loot.
Malayalis, who may simply be defined as those people who speak the Dravidian language Malayalam (the Kerala state language, closely related to Tamil), include not only a diversity of Hindu castes but the Muslim Mappilas, the Syrian Christians, the Cochin Jews, and others besides.
The Malayalis are inveterate newspaper readers, with a well-developed political consciousness and a fairly extensive intelligentsia.

 Malayalam
Malayalam (/malayALam/) is the principal language of the South Indian state of Kerala and also of the Lakshadweep Islands (Laccadives) of the west coast of India.
Malayalis (speakers of Malayalam), who - males and females alike - are almost totally literate, constitute 4 percent of the population of India and 96 percent of the population of Kerala (29.01 million in 1991).
Remarkably liberal in their attitudes, Malayalis have always welcomed other languages to coexist with their own and the interaction of these with Malayalam has helped its development in different respects.
