Tongue in Malayalam
This list covers tongue in the sense of a language but not the organ in the mouth. ഭാഷ (bhaasha) is a language, the tongue a people speaks and writes, and ജന്മഭാഷ (janmabhaasha) is the mother tongue. The ordinary word for the body part shows up here only inside the compound കരിനാക്ക് (karinakku), an evil tongue.
Language, the speech of a people, a tongue used for talking and writing.
മലയാളം എന്റെ ഭാഷയാണ്.
malayaalam ente bhaashayaanu.
Malayalam is my language.
