What is telgu?

Telugu is a Dravidian language spoken primarily in the state of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India. It is one of the 22 official languages of India and also has a significant presence in neighboring states such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. Telugu is the third most spoken language in India after Hindi and Bengali.

The Telugu script consists of 56 characters, including vowels and consonants. It is a syllabic alphabet in which each letter represents a syllable rather than a single sound. The language has a rich literary tradition dating back to the 11th century, with works in poetry, drama, and prose.

Telugu is also used extensively in the film industry, with the Telugu film industry (also known as Tollywood) being one of the largest in India. The language is also widely spoken among the Telugu-speaking diaspora around the world, especially in the United States, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
