Hey!
Isn't that funny?
Owlookam in
Malayalam means Owl in English!
There are many such similar instances in
Malayalam.
For eg:
Kayar in Malayalam is coir in English
Cashumanga is Cashew
Thek is Teak
These are few of the words that have been
absorbed from Malayalam into English. Malayalam
has also borrowed freely from English and that
has resulted in there being no real Malayalam
equivalents for words like switch, bench etc! |
