The Latin Catholics of Malabar Coast, aka Latin Christians of Kerala or Malabar Latin Catholics (Malayalam: ലത്തീൻ കത്തോലിക്കർ / ലതീൻ ക്രിസ്ത്യാനികൾ) are a multi-ethnic religious group who constitute the ecclesiastical provinces of Verapoly and Trivandrum, which follow the Roman Rite liturgical practices of the Latin Church, on the Malabar Coast, the southwestern coast of India.[1] They are predominantly Malayali people and speak the Malayalam language, though a subgroup of Luso-Indians speaks the Cochin Portuguese Creole. They trace their origins to the evangelization of Malabar Coast by the Dominican, Franciscan, Jesuit and Carmelite missionaries, mainly French and Portuguese.[2][3]
