Arabi Malayalam script (Malayalam: അറബി-മലയാളം, Arabi Malayalam: عَرَبِ مَلَیَاۻَمٛ), also known as Ponnani script,^[1]^[2]^[3] is a writing system — a variant form of the Arabic script with special orthographic features — for writing Arabi Malayalam, a Dravidian language in southern India.^[4]^[5] Though the script originated and developed in Kerala, today it is predominantly used in Malaysia and Singapore by the migrant Muslim community.^{[citation needed]}

Until the 20th century, the script was widely taught to all Muslims in the primary education madrasahs of Kerala.^[6] Arabi-Malayalam is currently used in some of the primary education madrasahs of Kerala and Lakshadweep.^[7]^[8]
