One of the most fascinating aspects of Vattappattu is its language. The lyrics are a unique blend of Malayalam, Arabic, Tamil, Persian, and Urdu, a testament to the rich, syncretic history of the Mappila Muslim community of Malabar. The themes of the songs are celebratory and reverential, often commemorating the wedding of the Prophet Muhammad while also incorporating local stories, folklore, and vivid descriptions of the wedding scene itself, such as the special feast prepared by the mother-in-law for the groom.
