Knanayology
Knanayology is a study on Knanaya Community.[1] This word is a combination of Knanaya and λόγος, logos, i.e. "knowledge, study" or "-logy". The word was first used and popularized by Knanaya Global Foundation[2] in 2019. "Knanaya" refers to the Christian ethnic group, traditionally known as Southists. Knanayology focuses on an extensive study on the history, culture, and traditions of the Knanaites.[3]
