Jewish Languages Online Course - Jewish Malayalam

Religiolects are language varieties with their own history and development, used by communities of speakers affiliated with a specific religious group. Jewish Malayalam, originating from Kerala, India, is one of these. Explore the history of Jews in this region, Jewish Malayalam’s similarities with other religiolects in the region, Jewish Malayalam literature, and more with Dr. Ophira Gamliel from the University of Glasgow. This class was part of a 2023 joint course between JewishLive's UnYeshiva and the HUC-JIR Jewish Language Project.
