Reading the Malayalam you paste
- This pair
- Malayalam and Tamil are close relatives and share many everyday words, but the scripts differ and Tamil keeps more of its own words where Malayalam uses Sanskrit ones.
- Script
- Malayalam script, written left to right, with rounded letters and many joined (conjunct) letters.
- Numbers
- Malayalam digits exist, but 0–9 is standard.
- Mixed text
- Manglish — Malayalam typed in Roman script, and English words in speech.
- Names
- Many names include a family house name (Thekkekara Joseph).
What you get in Tamil
- Saying "you"
- Tamil has neenga / neengal (respectful or plural) and nee (familiar). The translation follows the tone of what you paste.
- Sentence order
- Malayalam and Tamil both put the verb at the end, so most sentences keep their shape; idioms still need rewording.
- Script
- Tamil script, written left to right, with fewer letters than most Indian scripts — one letter can stand for several sounds.
- Who reads it
- Tamil is spoken in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia.
Example

നിങ്ങളുടെ 1,240 രൂപയുടെ ഇലക്ട്രിസിറ്റി ബില്ലിന്റെ അവസാന തീയതി നവംബർ 15 ആണ്. വൈകിയുള്ള ഫീസ് ഒഴിവാക്കാൻ ഓൺലൈനായി പണമടയ്ക്കുക.

Questions
Is the Malayalam to Tamil translator free?
Yes — up to 5,000 characters, 5 times a day, no sign-up.
Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Which "you" will the Tamil use?
The one that fits the tone of what you paste — a respectful message stays respectful for a Tamil reader.

Yes. Malayalam typed on a phone in Roman letters, or mixed with English, is translated as a whole into Tamil.
