Descrizione

About the Book :-The Tulu language, one of the Dravidian families, is spoken only by half a million of people, inhabiting the central part of South-Canara. Until recently there was no literature in this language, except some legends written on palm-leaves in the Malayalam character, in the possession of Brahman families. The compilation of a vocabulary commenced some 30 years ago. The Rev. G. Kammerer, who died in 1858, left a manuscript containing about 2000 words. The author took this vocabulary in hand and continued adding to it from all available sources, without in the least contemplating the printing of the same. Transliteration in Latin characters of every word will, especially for beginners, facilitate the use of the book. It is the product of extensive study of this language. The subject of the book is good in the context of the Tulu language. It’s good for students, learners and teachers.
