About Telugu
Telugu is a Dravidian language with inscriptions dating back to the 6th century CE. It flourished as a literary language under the patronage of the Vijayanagara Empire and various Telugu dynasties. Today approximately 93 million people speak Telugu, making it the most spoken Dravidian language.
Telugu is written in its own script, derived from the ancient Brahmi script through the Bhattiprolu and Kadamba stages. It is the official language of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Telugu is known as the Italian of the East because, like Italian, most of its words end in vowels, giving the language a distinctive melodic quality.
