When I came to Thrissur first time before 4 years, I took months to learn Thrissur Malayalam, now also can't understand many words. Now also, if I stay for some days at my home and come back, find it difficult to understand Thrissur Malayalam for some days. In our state, correct Malayalam is followed by people belong to Kottayam and Pathanamthitta district only....even beggars speak standard Malayalam. :P :P
What about you people? Are you speaking written language?
Where can you find people speaking it correct, in your state????

The business and official matters are formal and so language is also formal- spoken or written. Spoken language is more differentiated in informal talk.

What is 'realtion ships'. I think this could be 'relationship'. Please edit and correct.

What does you actually mean by this Sasi? :blink: :silly: :sick:
Actually, I don't like to talk to people now...for the past 3-4 years...

If I go outside for a shopping, if I open my mouth, suddenly I get an expected question....."Are you from south?" :blink: :angry:
"From your talk itself, I could identify you are not from Thrissur".
He is telling as if he is talking 100% perfect Malayalam. Sometimes, it feels just like an insult.

Yes, it's inconvenient to talk with people of other regions, though we all talk Malayalam :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

In Thrissur, they talk like singing while Thiruvananthapuram, they pronounce it short and fast.....slang is different from one place to another

Sharmista, I was asking if you are speaking in written version of Bengali. Is here any difference between written and spoken language?

Text book Hindi is spoken only by non Hindi speakers. The Hindi speaking people speak in various dialects of Hindi, namely, Brij Bhasa (Agra Mathura region), Avadhi (Lucknow Allahabad region), Bhojpuri/ Maithili (Bihar/ Jharkhand). In Madhya Pradesh, there is different dialect called Bilaspuri. However, Hindi speaking persons from different region speak Text Book Hindi among themselves. To elucidate, a Bihari will speak in Text Book Hindi with one from U.P. I speak in text book Hindi but can understand Brijbhasha, avadhi and Bhojpuri dialects.
I am bengali. My third language was bengali and hindi was 2nd. I can very well speak and write these two languages. Local language should be known to all. It becomes important. English is mass comunication language. We can work out with this language still in need local language rocks.

I agree. we learn languages by association with people and not reading books. You must have learnt Hindi and Bangla only by interaction with people. Language is only for communication of ideas and neither more nor less. What we wish to convey is more significant than language.
I am also bengali and use to write and speak in Bengali. No difference between written and spoken.

I had been in Bengal for long enough and found that Bengali spoken in East Bengal that is Jalpaiguri side and south Bengal has a big difference. People sound totally different in these two regions.
