No, not unless it's the name. But that's probably just coincidence: Malayālam means 'mountainous', and derives from mala 'mountain', so it can't come from Malay. Malay is Məlayu; I don't know it comes from. — kwami (talk) 02:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. The reason I ask is that I've just discovered the word Godown (warehouse). This word seems to be widely used in India. According to my dictionary, it is a Malay word but I think it might be Malayalam. Do you know? Biscuittin (talk) 08:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
No, but remember, much of Malaysia/Indonesia was once Hindu/Buddhist (there's a reason it's called "Indo-China"), and there are lots of Indian words in Malay. Pancasila, for example. — kwami (talk) 09:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
