ABOUT TELUGU
The Telugu script is a vibrant and intricate writing system used for the Telugu language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Originating from the ancient Brahmi script, Telugu script began to take shape around the 11th century CE and has since evolved into a distinct and sophisticated system. It features a circular and rounded aesthetic, which is thought to have been influenced by the need to write quickly on palm leaves and minimize wear. This script is an abugida, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritical marks. The Telugu script has played a crucial role in preserving the rich literary and cultural heritage of the Telugu-speaking people, encompassing classical poetry, religious texts, and contemporary works. Its development reflects the dynamic history of South India, showcasing the region’s contributions to literature and art.
