Arabs and Tamil Muslims
Islam came to Tamil Nadu in its earliest days, when the Arabs became Muslims. The early Arab Muslims settled in the coastal towns of Tamil Nadu and functioned as a guild for themselves. They were called Anjuvannam, meaning assembly or congregation. The name Anjuvannam is found in some copper plates and inscriptions from the 12th and 13th centuries and is considered to be the merchant guild of the Muslims. An old mosque in Thenkasi, Thirunelveli District, called ‘Anjuvannam Pallivasal’ that exists even today, testifies that the name Anjuvannam is attributed to the Muslims.

Arwi - Arabu tamil language
Arwi flourished in the 11th century in coastal Tamil Nadu and south-west Sri Lanka as a result of Arab traders visiting in search of exotic spices. Trading over several years, the two ancient civilizations not only engaged in commercial activities but possibly formed personal relationships and exchanged cultural ideas, language, and religion.
