Malayalam Language Ministry

Malayalam is the language spoken in Kerala, a southern state in India. Christianity was brought to Kerala by St. Thomas, the Apostle, who landed in Kerala in AD 52. Since then it has steadily grown and currently 19.3% of the state population are Christians as against 2.3% of the Indian average.
