Learn Tulu Online : Part 8 - Online Tulu Language Resources

Thought of providing my readers with resources regarding Tulu language available online. Hope you will able to make good use of them.

Tulu Dictionary : Following link on www.tuluworld.org provides you to look for meanings for Tulu words. Key in transliterated tulu word in English in the search box to find the meaning. What more; if you are unsure of the word, the tool gives suggestions on the probable word too! Meanings are provided in English as well as in Kannada.

Tulu Grammar Book : This link from openlibrary.org opens up a Tulu grammar book for you. Written by Rev J Brigel and published by C Stolz (of Basel Mission Book and Tract Depository) in 1872, this wonderfully researched book is very useful for those who are serious about knowing about the ancient language. It also has audio feature, which is of great help but sometimes you may not get exact pronunciation as Tuluvas speak.

  2. Hi Divya,

    I don't think there are any Tulu teaching guides available in the market.

    But Dravidian University at Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh publishes books in Tulu which are of academic nature.

    Then, of course, you can refer to the Tulu grammar book I have mentioned in this post.

    Thanks
    Raveesh

    4. Best way to learn any language is by observing. That is how I learnt Hindi watching bollywood movies. Therefore, I would recommend watching Tulu movies which are plenty these days and available in YouTube. Tulu movies are mostly comedies, so you will enjoy during learning Tulu. All the best.
      Here is one popular Tulu movie in recent years - Pilibail Yamunakka
      Watch Pilibail Yamunakka
