How hard will Japanese be if I am already used to another agglutinative language.?

Question:

I am really fluent in Malayalam, which is a South Indian Language. The language just like Japanese from what I understand, follows the same rule of keeping the verb at the end, so I am pretty much used to this type of writing. Will this help me at all in studying Japanese?

Answer:

I've never heard that Malayalam is like Japanese. Its writing system is completely different from Japanese. So it does not help you much at least in learning written form.
