The Mala Malasar Wycliffe India Version is an audio Scripture resource produced by Wycliffe India for the Mala Malasar tribal community of the Western Ghats in India. The Mala Malasar (also called Malai Malasar or Maha Malasar) are a Dravidian-speaking tribal people who inhabit the forested hills along the border of Palakkad district in Kerala and Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu. Their name reflects their identity: "Mala" means hill and "Malasar" means king of the hill, together evoking their deep connection to the forest highlands they have inhabited for generations. The Mala Malasar language (ISO 639-3: ima) is a small Dravidian language with limited written tradition, making audio Scripture a critical means for community members to access the Bible in their heart language. The resource is distributed.
