I recomend that this article be deleted. There is no language called Judeo-Malayalam. The Jewish population in Kerala was never more than a few thousand and they spoke Malayalam, just like everyone else and used Hebrew for prayer. The languages did not mix, except when refering to religious activities. If you want to call Malayalam a Jewish language because some Jewish people spoke it that is fine, like calling English a Jewish language because Saul Bellow and other Jewish writers wrote in it but to say there is a seperate Judeo-Malayalam is ridiculous. It is not even a dialect. It's like saying there is Judeo-English.What did Disraeli and Lord Rothschild speak? English, not Judeo-English.

See Yinglish and Yeshivish. Unless you're prepared to debate the uselessness and factual inaccuracy of the references and to the body of literature that is not online, I suggest that your protestations are erroneous and/or misinformed. BTW, get an account. Tomer ^TALK 04:06, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
