Abstract
en This book is a foundational 19th-century pedagogical grammar designed to facilitate the systematic acquisition of Malayalam by foreign learners, particularly European missionaries, scholars, and colonial administrators. Authored by the missionary L. J. Fronmeyor, the work bridges traditional Dravidian grammatical principles with Western analytical structures, providing a practical framework for learning both spoken and literary Malayalam.
