Thiruvananthapuram: The Central Library of the State, one of the oldest libraries in this country is the host of the exhibition on a rare Malayalam script, some of which come from 1510.
The authorities get ideas for this unique exhibition after the representatives of the Askan State Library compose this rare collection and compile What he digs on graph paper.
This exhibition aims to provide information to the current generation of Malayalam language evolution and also to collect scripts in one place.
The exhibition includes three forms of old Malayalam scripts written in 44 sheets of paper which includes “Kolezhuthu”, “Vettezhuthu” and “Malayanma”.
“So many words disappear when a language is undergoing evolution.
The old script is sourced from the library itself.
We cannot show off all evolutionary processes, but we have exhibited important developments,” said an official.
Vettezhuthu is the most ancient script in Malayalam which is believed to be used until the Thunchuthachan.
This evolved from Tamil as in ancient times, the language used in Kerala is Tamil and Vattezhututu scripts are very widely used.
Named after the characteristics, that is, the use of damaged symbols when writing.
This is also known as VATTEZHUTHU.
“The disadvantage of the VATTEZHutHut script paved the way for Colezhutu.
Kolezhututu can be seen in Chandu Menon’s novel ‘Indulekha’ which was published in 1889.
During the Colezhutututu period, most of the symbols we use in modern Malayalam existing languages.
Malayangma came after the Kolezhututu script Used to write Malayalam language.
This is a mixture of Vattezhuthu and Kolezhututu, “the official said.
During the period of the Kolezhuthu, when the royal palace and the Padmanabhaswamy temple authority wrote a letter, it will only start with the words “Kovilo” and “Kovilakamo.” “We cannot say that this is Kerala scripts because historians and linguists have proven that this country has a common concept in the language system.
Most of the different indian languages ​​sound the same.
Indian language follows the style of” Swara “and” Vyenchana ” In most languages.
Indians come from such a common script.
We plan to start Malayalam language historiography in the Malayalam Department, “said Asokan PU, Deputy Librarian State.
The seven-day exhibition was inaugurated by Veteran Filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan on November 1 will conclude on Sunday.
