Middle Malayalam
Middle Malayalam is the period of the Malayalam language spanning from 13th century to 15th century AD. The traces of the adjuncts of verbs had disappeared by this period. The Jains also seemed to have encouraged the study of the Malayalam language.

The works including "Unniyachi Charitham", "Unnichiruthevi Charitham", and "Unniyadi Charitham", are written in Middle Malayalam, those date back to 13th and 14th centuries of Common Era. The "Sandesha Kavya"s of 14th century CE written in Manipravalam language include "Unnuneeli Sandesam". The word "Manipravalam" literally means "Diamond-Coral" or "Ruby-Coral". The 14th-century "Lilatilakam" text states Manipravalam to be a "Bhashya" (language) where "Malayalam and Sanskrit should combine together like ruby and coral, without the least trace of any discord". "Kannassa Ramayanam" and "Kannassa Bharatam" by Rama Panikkar of the Niranam poets who lived between 1350 and 1450 give a clear idea of this language. Ulloor, the great literary historian of Kerala, has opined that Rama Panikkar holds the same position in Malayalam literature that Edmund Spenser does in English literature. The "Champu Kavyas" written by Punam Nambudiri, one among the "Pathinettara Kavikal" (Eighteen and a half poets) in the court of the Zamorin of Calicut, also belong to Middle Malayalam.

The Old Malayalam language (9th century CE - 13th century CE) was employed in several official records and transactions (at the level of the Chera Perumal kings as well as the upper-caste (Nambudiri) villages). It was an inscriptional language and there was not any literary work of its own, with possible exceptions of "Ramacharitam" and "Thirunizhalmala". However the Malayalam literature completely got diverged from the contemporary Tamil literature by the period of Middle Malayalam. The Middle Malayalam period marked the commencement of the unique traits of Malayalam literature. The literary works written in Middle Malayalam were heavily influenced by Sanskrit and Prakrit, while comparing them with the modern Malayalam literature.
