    Hi Sanskar,

    Though confined to 2 districts of Karnataka(Udupi and Dakshina Kannada) and 1 of Kerala(Kasaragod), Tulu has many dialects. As wiki points there are mainly 4 dialects of Tulu - Common, Brahmin(which has a strong influence of Sanskrit), Jain, Harijan. What I have mentioned here is the Common dialect. Also, this common dialect is subdivided into five groups. What you can see here is the one what they speak in Mangalore.

  7. ShurikMonday, November 16, 2009 6:06:00 PM

    Actually I don't know which dialect my friend speaks, but she says "see you later" as "nana oru sikkga" instead of "nanoru thikkga" what I learnt on the internet. So which dialect is that?
    I am a guy from delhi, I am doing my Btech here in bangalore, I am good in learning languages, and I have grasped kannada very much. before i leave this place i would love to learn tulu as well.

    Hi Sanskar,

    Sorry for responding late.

    And regarding the dialect you mentioned, I guess it is Brahmin dialect.

    Great to know that you are interested in learning Tulu. Surely, you will learn Tulu before going back to Delhi.

    Regards

    Hi Sanskar,

    Brahmin dialect, is also called Shivalli Tulu as it is spoken by Shivalli Brahmins. For more info on Shivalli Tulu, please visit the following site - http://shivallibrahmins.com/lang/en/section/english/tulu-language/

    Please provide such lessons on you tube, where the sentence is first spoken very slowly and clearly giving meaning of each word in the sentence, and afterwards speaking the words in normal tempo.

    I insist that such lessons please be provided on you tube.

    I am ready to pay the tution fees.
    I have promised my friend that I will learning language before her daughter gets married.

    Hence please email me on pranali_vagal@yahoo.co.in
    whether it is possible for you to load such lessons on YOU TUBE because simply reading the text won't help.

    Hi Pranali,

    Thanks for the suggestion. That should be very effective in learning the language. Let me see if I can materialize. No need of tuition fee for that! :) I am posting these lessons only to spread and save Tulu language from extinction. The very reason for starting Tulu lessons was a UNESCO report where in it said Tulu language will be no more by 2050.

    Hey hi, I was searching on the internet about the Tulu Script, I was told that it has been lost. people believe that tulu script was derived from Malayalam but I learnt on reliable sources that it was other way round.. Malayalam derived script from Tulu. I also found Kannada to tulu and roman to tulu transliteration. Here I have also done the work of Devanagari to tulu.

    Murali,

    The exact translation of "Many More Happy Returns of the Day" does not find use in conversing in Tulu. Alternatively, you can say "shubhaashayalu" (Wishes). So, if you are saying on birthday, It can be "Puttina dinata shubhaashayalu"(Happy Birthday).

    Your day -> "ini ninna dina"(singular), "ini irna dina"(plural, with respect)

    Me from Assam, but somehow meet a very cutie girl from Mangalore, we both work in a same office. I got crush on her, but never expressed my feelings to hear. Due to fear of loosing a great friend. She already hav a bf. She is happy in her life. When i got know her mother tongue is Tulu,, I suddenly become fond and stared learning Tulu language, don't know why. Still I'm learning..

    Dear Sir
    My mother tongue is Telugu. I know the other three South Indian languages and Hindi. As I can read Devanagari I understand Sanskrit a little bit.
    I came across your site and my few observations are given below.
    Tamizh and Malayalam have three varieties of 'l'. viz la, La and zha. ல, ள, ழ.
    ല, ള ഴ, Kannada and Telugu have two varieties of 'La' viz ల,ళ ,
    It is noticed that Tulu language uses the first two varieties of la. Though the audio gives the correct pronunciation of these two forms only 'l' is used in English script. I am giving below the examples of this mistake.

    sari, enk aDe baroli.
    yaan usaarulle.
    Should not the second one be "yaan usaaruLLe"
    Thanks
    Govindaswamy
