KERALA

Kerala is a state in south-western India. Most of

Kerala's 34.8 million people (in 2011) are
ethnically Malayalis (Malayalam speakers). Most of the
Malayalam and English speaking Keralites derive their ancestry
from Dravidian communities that settled in Kerala. Additional
ancestries derive from millennia of trade links across the Arabian
Sea, whereby people of Arab, Jewish, Syrian and other ethnicities
settled in Kerala. Many of these immigrants intermarried with
native Malayalam speakers resulting in formation of many
Muslims and Christians in Kerala.[1][2] Some Muslims and
Christians thus take lineage from Middle Eastern settlers mixed
with local population.
Malayalam is Kerala's official language and is spoken by at least
97% of the people of Kerala; the next most common languages
are English and Tamil which is spoken mainly by migrant workers
from the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. Tulu and Kannada is
spoken in northern parts of Kasaragod district,
bordering Karnataka. In addition, Kerala is home to 321,000
indigenous tribal Adivasis (1.10% of the populace).[3] Some 63%
of tribals reside in the eastern districts of Wayanad (where
35.82% are tribals), Palakkad (1.02%), and Idukki (15.66%).
[4]
 These groups, including the Paniyars, Mooppans,
Irulars, Kurumbars, and Mudugars,[5] speak their own native
languages.[6][7][8] Cholanaikkan tribe in the Silent Valley National
Park were contacted only in the 1970s and they are the most
isolated tribe in the state
