Telugu is a Dravidian language belonging to the Telugu
sub-group in South-Central group of the Dravidian language

also has some features of Indo-Aryan language. It is the most
widely spoken language in the Dravidian language family. The
writing script of Telugu is syllabic that descend from the
Brahmi script of ancient India. The Telugu alphabets are
closely related to the Kannada alphabets. Like other major
Dravidian languages, Telugu also has very clear distinctions
between formal or literary and colloquial registers and
between social dialects. Telugu script is considered to be the
most scientific script by the linguists. It has a set of basic
symbols, a set of modifier symbols and rules for modification.
There are eighteen vowels, thirty-six consonants, and three
dual symbols in Telugu but in common usage only thirteen
vowels and thirty five consonants are used. |
