Ramacharitham is a collection of poems written at the end of the preliminary stage in Malayalam literature's evolution.
It was written by a poet with the pen name Cheeramakavi who, according to poet Ulloor S. Parameshwaya Aiyer, was Sree Veerarama Varman, a king of Travancore from AD 1195 to 1208.
They cite the use of certain words in the book and also the fact that the manuscript of the book was recovered from Neeleshwaram in north Kerala.
A. R. Rajaraja Varma, who heavily contributed to the development of Malayalam grammar, is of the opinion that Malayalam originated from ancient Tamil.
