Telugu is a Dravidian language and is the only language other than Hindi and Bengali that is predominantly spoken in more than one Indian State. It is the official language of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Union Territory of Yanam. It is also spoken by significant minorities in Andaman and Nicobar, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and by the Sri Lankan Gypsy people. It is one of the six languages designated as Classical Language of India. Telugu ranks 3rd by the number of native speakers in India but unfortunately it is declining. Telugu retains some features of Sanskrit that have subsequently lost in some of Sanskrit’s daughter languages.

చరిత్ర
Telugu inscriptions were recorded in 400 BC to 100 BC. The great emperor Sri Krishnadeva Raya stated “దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స” meaning Telugu is the sweetest among the languages of the nation. Nicolo Di Conti, a traveller from Italy fell in love with Telugu and called is as the Italian of the East. What promoted him to say so was that words in Telugu, like in Italian, would be pronounced crystal clear without the need for the speaker to spell any last letter silent as in English. i.e., all Telugu words ended with vowels similar to Italian. During the British reign, many Britishers showed interest in learning Telugu and one of them is C. P. BROWN, who even mastered the poetry and became the first person to write the Telugu dictionary. Telugu Bhasha Dinotsavam is celebrated on 29th August every year. It is the birthday of Telugu Poet Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy. February 21st is celebrated as International Mother Tongue Day globally.
