Vattezhuthu, Koolezhuthu, Malayanma were the scripts used in Malayalam long before.
Grandha lipi was another convention. These script conventions could be considered as the protoforms of the present.
Malayalam belongs to the Dravidian family of languages. Initially the Dravida language had only 30 letters - 12 vowels and 18 consonants.
