LANGUAGE:
Telugu is the main language of the State, which became the beginning of a language and a state. Telugu, the second largest spoken language in India and has a long history. Although tamil is the oldest Dravidian languages, Telugu has enjoyed a special status because of "its melody and grace." It has been justly called the "Italian of the East." Dr.William Carey, who created the printing press in the vernacular languages, published in grammar telugu 1812.AD Campbell ready telugu-English dictionary. CPBrown contribution to growth and development in telugu is well known. In your opinion which is sad telugu classics "in a deplorable state as well as those of Greek and Latin authors before the invention of printing." He announced the revival of telugu literature through their monumental works. Carey, telugu described as the most polished of the five languages of South India, namely Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Sinhalese, observed that "the range of inflection, as to give an ability to express ideas, with a high degree of happiness, justice and elegance. "Campbell too lavished praise for telugu in 1816 when he wrote:" Few languages are more abundant, more nervous or more buildings, and can boast, in a peculiar form of great elegance of expression and a good melody. " Caldwell, the "father of Dravidian languages, gave him first place in the point of" euphonic sweetness, "and this view was supported by Henry Morris, who called the most musical of all Telugu Dravidian languages.

Very recently, the scientist said J.B.S. Haldane expressed the view that telugu could be a rival of Hindi in the teaching of science, medicine and engineering. Around the same tini G.H. His father wrote that "telugu is the most northerly of the northern languages memuer: and has the advantages of both groups with few, if any, of the defects .... He has never suffered narrow provincialism."
Telugu is said to have grown from a synthesis of the native language of the Dravidian and Sanskrit, the language of the colonizers, the Aryans. The influence of Sanskrit was initiated in the 3 century BC and since then the growth of language is traced. Developments as understood now telugu however took place in the 9th century AD The enrichment of the language was carried out at regular intervals in the story. The names of Nannayya, Tikkana Pothana and are appreciated in all homes as of Thyagaraja and Vemana subsequent periods. Veeresalingam, Gurazada, and Sri Sri Viswanatha Satyanarayana were prominent writers and poets of the past one hundred years. The development of Telugu language and literature owes much to the efforts of the British. Noted historians of Asia and strong influence of Andhra art "as one scholar summarized:" The people of this region, especially Kakathiyas made a glorious contribution to the development of art and architecture. "
Remember that telugu varies from region to region in their expression. Here again the telugu speaking people proudly say that the language spoken in the region is higher than in other regions. At the same time, one side of telugu is that it has never hosted, as noted by his father, narrow provincialism. Interact much with other languages and in Hyderabad city and surrounding areas, Marathi, Kannada and Urdu have been influenced by the people. It is said that the Telugus' spirit of tolerance is largely due to the mixing of different languages for centuries. Urdu is the second most spoken language in the state. Most people speaking urdu is limited to two cities and surrounding districts. Of the total population of Andhra Pradesh, 87 per cent have telugu urdu and 7.20 percent as their mother tongue.
