Geography vechu nokiyal they are in Kottyam (Changaneshery, North Kottyam/Kuravulingad/Ettumanoor, Pala, Kanjirappaly), Alapuzzha, Iddukki district, Ernakulam district, Thrissur district, and in Malabar areas such as Wayanad, Kannur and Kozhikode). I think most political power ulla group ivaru thaneya.
B. The Malankara group - Jacobite/Orthodox and Marthoma are mainly confined in south Kerala... Pathanamthitta district, Kollam district, southern Alapuzzha district and Trivandrum district. Then the Jacobites are a large group in Ernakulam district. I only started seeing them in movies rather recently ... within the last 10 years. Like Molly Aunty Rocks is showing a Marthoma family. And the recent Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha is showing a Jacobite/Orthodox family. Malankara Catholics were ex Jacobite/Orthodox group that joined with the Catholic Church in 1930. They are a small minority. What I notice in the US... Is that the majority of Malayali Americans are from this group. Family visa eke file cheythu vanavar frm thjs group is huge.
C. Then the Latin Catholics are mainly confined to Kochi/Ernakulam and Trivandrum side. Ee two areasil avaru oru large group anu. Thaneer Nathan Dingal or even Ea Mau Yo eke Latin Catholic setting anu kanikune.
D. C.S.I groups are basically Anglicans. British influence lude vana oru denomination. Not sure about their exact geography but Kottayam and Ernakulam areasil eke kanditundu. Kottayam CMS college eke avarude anu.
E. Then of course unconventional aya Protestant/Evangelical groups undu such as the Pentecostals and Brethren etc.
