Tulu

Tulu is a Dravidian language spoken mainly in the southwestern coast of India, particularly in regions of Karnataka and Kerala. It has a rich oral tradition, including storytelling, folk songs, and rituals, reflecting the culture of its speakers. Tulu has its own script historically, but today it is often written using the Kannada script. The language plays a vital role in preserving local traditions and identity. Despite being less widespread, Tulu continues to thrive as a vibrant part of regional heritage, with efforts to promote its use and recognition in educational and cultural contexts.
