Tulu Language

Tulu is a Dravidian language primarily spoken by around 2 million people in the coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala in India. It has a rich cultural history and unique oral literature, including folk songs and stories. Tulu uses its own script historically, but today it is often written in Kannada or Latin scripts. The language features distinctive sounds and grammar, setting it apart from neighboring languages. Tulu plays an important role in local identity, traditions, and community life, and efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote its use across generations.
