Malayalam is a Dravidian language and is recognized as one of the 22 official languages of India. It is chiefly spoken in South India, in the state of Kerala. It also serves as the official language for the state of Kerala, and has around 37 million speakers. Substantial populations of Malayalam speakers can also be found in Kodagu districts of Karnataka, Dakshina Kannada, the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, and in the Indian union territories of Lakshadweep and Mahé. Malayalam is also spoken by large groups of Indian expatriates residing in Australia, Europe, the Persian Gulf, Singapore and United States.

With such a large population of Malayalam speakers spread out all over the world, there is an ongoing requirement for professional Malayalam translators. Tomedes fills this demand by providing high quality translation services through professional and experienced Malayalam translators.
