Malayalam is the official language of Kerala and Lakshadweep, in southern India, and is spoken by a large migrant workforce across the Gulf states. Kerala is India's most literate state, with deep ties to the Gulf economy.
Supporting Malayalam lets you serve customers across Kerala and reach Malayali communities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, who stay closely tied to home.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Malayalam speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Malayalam shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
IT teams at Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram and Infopark in Kochi mix Malayalam and English in meetings, so notes need to capture Manglish as it's spoken.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Malayalam support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Malayalam packs whole phrases into long agglutinated words, so voice agents need to parse a single spoken word that carries a full request.
Voice agents →Malayalam cinema has found audiences across India and abroad on streaming platforms, and every release needs accurate subtitles for viewers outside Kerala.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Malayalam voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
