Malayalam Samaachaaram was the first newspaper in Malayalam published from Thalassery by Hermann Gundert who incidently compiled the first Malayalam grammar and dictionary.

I'm starting a conversation thread for those who can read Malayalam for discussing Kerala matters.

I shall post my comments in Malayalam. To read my comments in Malayalam, please go to the 'Tools' option from the top bar of the browser(IE, I think Netscape also has), go to 'Internet options' or'Preferences', Choose 'Fonts' button and from the left hand side list choose 'AkrutiMalKamini' font and click OK options. Now you will able to see all the text matter in Malayalam, including English content. Below I'm giving a sample test. See it for yourself.

  All those who have Akruti software installed in the machine can type in the comments in Malayalam. If not, post in English and read in Malayalam! OK?

  There is correction. It was Rajyasamaachaaram that first published in Malayalam. It was a periodical of current news affairs and literature.

  Santosh,
  It seems the fate had concealed a speck of disappointment in this thread's destiny. I recently formatted my hard disk without thinking about the Akruti Software. Now I'm not able to reinstall the software as I don't have the keys!! So I'll not be able to type anymore in Malayalam font. If some one types in Malayalam font I'll be able to read!!but only Akruti fonts. I don't mean any ad campaign for Akruti people:-))
