Which are the words in English taken from Malayalam?

There aren't many words in English directly taken from Malayalam. English has borrowed words from many languages, including Sanskrit, Arabic, and French, but Malayalam has had a relatively small influence on the English lexicon.

Here are a few examples of words that might have an indirect link to Malayalam through Sanskrit, but they're not direct borrowings:

* Aryan: This term, referring to a linguistic group, ultimately derives from the Sanskrit word "arya," which is also found in Malayalam. However, it's not a direct Malayalam loanword.

* Yoga: This term is commonly used in English and is derived from Sanskrit. Malayalam, as a member of the Indo-Aryan language family, shares its vocabulary with Sanskrit.

It's important to note that while these examples might have a connection to Malayalam through Sanskrit, they aren't direct borrowings. English has a vast vocabulary, and its borrowings from Malayalam are minimal.
