Species in Malayalam
Neither entry is the biological term species. മനുഷ്യർ (manushyar) means human beings or people, and it matches only because its definition speaks of people as a species. The scientific word in Malayalam is a different Sanskritic compound, not listed here.
Humans, human beings, people as a species.
മനുഷ്യർ മൃഗങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് വ്യത്യസ്തരാണ്.
manushyar mrugangalil ninnu vyathyastharaanu.
Humans are different from animals.
All Malayalam words for “species”
- മനുഷ്യർ (manushyar) — Humans, human beings, people as a species.
- കാമുകം (kamukam) — A species of jasmine, the Ashoka tree.
കാമുകം (kamukam) names one particular plant, a species of jasmine also identified with the Ashoka tree, so it is the name of a thing rather than the category word.
