Aksharam — A tribute to my mother tongue

I enjoy learning languages, and at some point I wondered — what if I built something for Malayalam?

That idea became Aksharam, a small Malayalam learning app for beginners.

Aksharam means letter in Malayalam.

The app currently includes:

  • സ്വരാക്ഷരങ്ങൾ — Vowels
  • വ്യഞ്ജനങ്ങൾ — Consonants
  • സ്വരചിഹ്നങ്ങൾ — Signs & Combinations
  • വാക്കുകൾ — Words
  • വാക്യങ്ങൾ — Common Sentences
  • Audio and pronunciation support for better learning

Learning a new language takes repetition, listening, and practice. I wanted Aksharam to make the first steps into Malayalam feel simpler and more accessible.

I tried to keep the experience clean, lightweight, and easy to use for anyone learning or reconnecting with the language.

This project is also a small tribute to my mother tongue — the language I grew up hearing every day.
