Jaffna Tamil dialect
The Jaffna Tamil dialect is a Tamil dialect native to the Jaffna Peninsula and is the primary dialect used in Northern Sri Lanka. The Jaffna Tamil dialect has very similar intonation to Malayalam and is sometimes mistaken for Malayalam when heard in Tamil Nadu. Although, audibly, quite distinct from the spoken Tamil dialects of Tamil Nadu, it nevertheless shares the same standard written Tamil as Tamil Nadu, and is mutually intelligible in standard forms. In contrast, Sri Lankan Tamil dialects are not mutually intelligible with Malayalam.
