Manglish is a blend of Malayalam and English, widely used in everyday informal communication among Malayali speakers. It involves writing Malayalam words and sentences using the Roman (English) alphabet rather than the Malayalam script.
Unlike formal Malayalam, Manglish does not follow strict spelling rules — it reflects how millions of bilingual Keralites naturally communicate in text messages, WhatsApp chats, social media, and casual conversations. For example, typing "Ninnalude weekend engane aayirunnu?" in this tool gives you the English translation "How was your weekend?"
