'''Allar''' ({{ipa|all|ɐlːɐr|ipa}}, also known as '''Chatan''') is a [Dravidian language](/source/Dravidian_languages)<ref>V. Zvelebil (1997) "Language list for Dravidian," ''Archiv Orientální'' 65:175-190</ref> spoken in [Kerala](/source/Kerala) (Malappuram district-Perinthalmanna tahsil, Manjeri tahsil, Mannarmala, Aminikadu, and Tazhecode; Palakkad district-Mannarkkad and Ottappalam tahsils), [India](/source/India). Due to a lack of scholarly study, Allar cannot be classified within Dravidian at this time and may be a dialect of some other Dravidian language.
