Namaskar! nēnu Telugu!

You might be wondering why this sounds familiar. You must have guessed it, Yes!! I am Telugu

I am the largest member of the Dravidian language family. I am primarily spoken in south-eastern India.

I am as old as 3000 years but I am still new because of my 75 million speakers in this century.

I am also 21st on the list of official Languages of India under the Constitution of India and the administrative Language of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

My script was derived from that of the 6th-century Chalukya dynasty and I am most related to Kannada (My cousin). 

Like the all my cousins, I have has a series of retroflex consonants (/ḍ/, /ṇ/, and /ṭ/) that are pronounced with the tip of the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth.

Grammatical categories such as case, number, person, and tense are denoted with suffixes. Reduplication, the repetition of words or syllables to create new or emphatic meanings, is common.

The literature for my language began in the 11th century with a version of the Hindu epic Mahabharata by the writer Nannaya Bhatta.

I have a good literary history of 3 of my students winning Jnanpith Awards.

Viswanatha Satyanarayana was my first student to win the Jnanpith Awards in the year 1970. He is a novelist, poet, and short story writer. He is famously known for Veyipadagalu (The Thousand Hoods). I am so proud of him and he has helped in promoting me through his famous novels.

C. Narayana Reddy was my second student to win the Jnanpith Awards in 1988. He is a poet and writer. He has written over 1,300 film songs. This makes me so proud of my student cue tissues.

✨In 2012, My 3rd student got his Jnanpith Awards. He was Ravuri Bharadhwaja. He was a novelist, short story writer, poet and a critic. He has 37 collections of short stories, 17 novels, six short novels for children and eight plays to his credit.
