Apply - applications close on 15 April 2019

Have you ever wondered about the grammar and structure of the fastest spoken language in the world? If so, our intense and advanced introduction to Malayalam language is for you.

The University of Glasgow’s Malayalam summer course aims at providing the basics of Malayalam grammar for researchers interested in any field of study related to the rich cultural, textual, and linguistic heritage of the West Coast of South India. You might be struggling with performance manuals, palm leaf manuscripts, historical documents, or speech samples that form the database of your research on Temple Theatre, premodern knowledge systems, Indian Ocean history, or tribes of the Western Ghats. We are here to help you in acquiring the analytic tools for approaching your database and developing your research accordingly.

You will be required to memorize the Malayalam alphabet beforehand. Tutorials will be sent 2-3 weeks before the starting date of the course.
