                  Telugu is a Dravidian language belonging to the Telugu 
                  sub-group in South-Central group of the Dravidian language 
                  family. Though it originated from the Dravidian language, it 
                  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.  |
