Lilatilakam (IAST: Līlā-tilakam, "diadem of poetry") is a 14th-century Sanskrit-language treatise on the grammar and poetics of the Manipravalam language style, a blend of Sanskrit and early Malayalam used in the Kerala region of India.
== Date and authorship == Lilatilakam is an anonymous work, generally dated to the late 14th century. It is attested by two (possibly three) manuscripts and is not referenced by any other surviving pre-modern source. In 1909, Appan Thampuran published a translation of the first part of Lilatilakam in the Malayalam magazine Mangalodhayam. Later, Attoor Krishna Pisharody (A. Kṛṣṇa Piṣāraṭi) translated and published the entire treatise: in 1916, he edited the Sanskrit sutras with a Malayalam translation of the original Sanskrit commentary.
