Malabarin
Only very little was known about such people like the Malabar in the 18th century. They were mentioned in only a few guidebooks of that time. Some theories suggest that the name of this nation comes from the Malayam word ‘mala’ meaning ‘hill’ and the Persian ‘bar’ meaning ‘kingdom’. (Malayam is one of the languages spoken in southwestern India.) A special feature of the Malabar people living on the Malabar coast, historically the southwestern area of the Indian subcontinent, was their extraordinary musicality.
