Acclamation in Malayalam

Acclamation comes out in Malayalam as ആര്‍ത്തുവിളി (aarthuvili), a compound built from the idea of a loud collective shout. Say it aar-thu-vi-li, with the beats spread evenly. It fits a crowd roaring its approval at a procession or a rally rather than polite applause.

How do you say acclamation in Malayalam?

Use ആര്‍ത്തുവിളി (aarthuvili), which literally describes a loud cry raised together by many people.
