Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The development of Malayalam as a language was done by the rulers of Chera.
Most regional languages like Malayalam, Tamil Kannada, Telugu Odia etc. wide, developed with the efforts of the local rulers who were ruling these areas. Similar is the case with Malayalam, where the Chera Kingdom of Mahodayapuram developed this language in Kerala. This Kingdom was established in the 9th century, and the rulers of this Kingdom introduced the Malayalam language along with their scripts in their manuscripts and inscriptions. The patronage of these rulers and kings led to the developing of such regional languages in India. Much of the present-day Malayalam script can be attributed to its development in the ancient past.
The correct statement would be rulers of Chera developed the language of Malayalam.
