The Malayalam language spoken by the Mappila Muslim community of Kerala is called Mappila dialect of Malayalam or simply as Mappila Malayalam (Malayalam script: മാപ്പിള മലയാളം).This speech is a mixture of colloquial northern Kerala dialects of Malayalam and the Arabic language. Often, the Malayalee Muslim community of Malaysia and Singapore and few of them in Kerala write Malayalam using Arabic Script. The dialect is extensively spoken by Muslims in the north Malabar region of Kerala i.e. in the districts of Malappuram, Kozhikode, Palghat, Wayanad, Trichur, Kannur and Kasaragod. The Malayalam spoken by Mappila Muslim shows deep influence of the Arabic language. It should also be noted that Mappila dialect of Malayalam is not Arabi Malayalam.
