Bible translations into Malayalam From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Translations of the Bible into Malayalam began from 1829, and have been to some extent influential on the development of the modern language.[1]

The first attempt at publishing a Malayalam grammar made by surgeon Robert Drummond about 1749 for the East India Company.[2] The Malayalam New Testament was first published in 1829. The first complete Malayalam Bible was printed by Benjamin Bailey, the Anglican missionary, in 1841. Hermann Gundert updated Bailey's version and produced the first Malayalam-English dictionary (1872).[3][4][5] Other sources record that a Phillipose Rampan (c. 1780-1850) also translated parts of the Bible into Malayalam.[6]
