莫普拉马拉雅拉姆语 [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] (或称阿拉伯马拉雅拉姆语、莫普拉语) 是使用在莫普拉族 的一种马拉雅拉姆语。印度南部喀拉拉邦的马拉巴尔海岸 有数千人使用该语言。这种书写系统的马拉雅拉姆语被归类为喀拉拉邦北部的一种地区方言,或者莫普拉族社区的一种阶级或职业方言。多数情况下被归类为一种方言,尤其在英国殖民时期。无论是标准马拉雅拉姆语还是该种形式的方言,二者几乎能无障碍互通。[ 5] [ 6]
与标准马拉雅拉姆语相比,莫普拉语当中的波斯语借词与阿拉伯语借词更多。[ 6] [ 7]
除了莫普拉族,伊扎瓦人 ( 喀拉拉邦北部的低种姓非穆斯林)、南坎纳达县的穆斯林以及印度其他地区的莫普拉族社区也使用该语言。
一般由辅音音素文字 书写,该系统[ 8] 也被称为Khatafunnani[ 9] 或庞纳尼文字 [ 10] [ 11] ,也用于一些少数民族语言书写例如阿拉那丹语 和贾斯里语 。
莫普拉语是通过在使用阿拉伯文字时编写马拉雅拉姆语而制成,主要用于在喀拉拉邦传播伊斯兰教的思想和文化。创建阿拉伯字母的马拉雅拉姆语使移民到喀拉拉邦的阿拉伯人更容易传播宗教,而没有语言障碍。[ 12]
