Tulu Has Many Dialects. But One Classical Soul. Tulu is not one language—it is a world of voices. Across Tulunadu and beyond, Tulu is spoken in a stunning variety of dialects: Northern Tulu North-East Tulu North Middle East Tulu North-Southern Middle East Tulu Southern Tulu South-West Tulu South-East Tulu Malnad Tulu Coorg Tulu Shivalli Brahmin Tulu Harijan Tulu Tribal Tulu Each dialect is a unique treasure—shaped by landscape, caste, history, and livelihood. But today, Tulu lacks one thing: A standardized literary form that connects all its speakers. --- We Once Had That Standard: Classical Old Tulu From the 8th to 16th century, Tulu had an official, shared, and refined form—used by kings, poets, temples, and scribes. We find it in inscriptions and copperplates from: Kulashekhara rule Kasaragod temples Barkur and Moodabidri courts Pelattur, Kodangala, and Gosada villages Ananthapura inscriptional archives and many more This Classical Tulu unified people across Tulunadu, long before modern media existed. --- Old Tulu Literature: The Forgotten Glory Tulu’s classical literature proves its maturity and depth. Devi Mahatme (11th–12th century) The first known literary work in Tulu, written by the Adikavi (First Poet) of Tulu. A temple drama rich in poetics, devotion, and structure. Mahabharato by Arunabja (14th century) A powerful poetic retelling with a distinct Tulu voice. Karnaparva by Hariyappa (15th century) A classical rendering of a Mahabharata episode, showing literary refinement. Sribhagavato by Visnutunga (16th century) A Tulu Vaishnava classic combining deep devotion and ornate poetry. Kaveri (contemporary of Visnutunga) A lesser-known but profound work that uses elevated Tulu expressions like Pulanja (wisdom), Ast (chapter), Varaṇo (elephant), etc. This literary tradition shows that Tulu had grammar, metaphor, structure, and status. --- But That Standard Is Now Lost Today: Tulu films mostly reflect Kudla dialect, unintentionally leaving others behind. Tulu journalism struggles without linguistic consistency. Tulu education has no unified grammar or textbook model. AI, translations, and keyboards can’t work efficiently without standard input. Recognition demands structure. --- Time to Revive Classical Tulu as Standard Tulu This is not about killing dialects. This is about uniting them under a respectful literary umbrella—a standardized Tulu rooted in its own ancient greatness. Just like: Tamil balances spoken and classical Malayalam reclaims Sanskritized literary legacy Hindi has Khariboli as a base Tulu too must: Undergo Language Planning: 1. Corpus Planning — Rebuild script, grammar, vocabulary from classical models 2. Status Planning — Elevate Tulu in media, education, official use 3. Acquisition Planning — Teach a common standard in schools, apps, and journalism --- Let This Be Our Call Let the dialects live—as vibrant speech. Let Classical Tulu rise again—as our literary and administrative spine. Let every Tuluva—from coastal to Coorg, from forest to folk, from market to monastery—feel included in a shared Tulu identity. Let us build a language that our poets once wrote in, our kings once ruled with, and our temples once chanted in. --- Tulunadu Has Many Tongues. But One Literary Heart. That heart is Classical Tulu. Let it beat again. In schools. In media. In apps. In cinema. In law. In the world. Let this post be the beginning of that revival. #Tulu #ClassicalTulu #StandardTulu #LanguagePlanning #Tulunadu #ReviveTulu #TulutoclassicalLanguage

*Tulu Language Planning: A Comprehensive Approach* The Tulu language, spoken by approximately 2-3 million people in India's coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala, is a Dravidian language with a rich cultural heritage. To promote and preserve Tulu, a comprehensive language planning strategy is essential. *Objectives:* 1. Preserve Tulu's linguistic and cultural identity. 2. Promote Tulu as a viable medium for communication. 3. Enhance Tulu's official status. 4. Develop Tulu language education. 5. Foster literary and cultural activities. *Short-term goals (5 years):* 1. *Standardize Tulu script*: Finalize and popularize a unified script. 2. *Language documentation*: Record and analyze Tulu dialects, vocabulary, and grammar. 3. *Tulu language courses*: Develop and implement courses in schools, colleges, and online platforms. 4. *Literary publications*: Encourage Tulu literature, including novels, poetry, and short stories. 5. *Cultural events*: Organize festivals, workshops, and seminars showcasing Tulu culture. *Mid-term goals (10 years):* 1. *Official language status*: Advocate for Tulu's recognition as an official language in Karnataka and Kerala. 2. *Tulu language media*: Establish Tulu-language newspapers, radio, and television channels. 3. *Language technology*: Develop Tulu language fonts, keyboards, and speech recognition software. 4. *Education and research*: Establish Tulu language departments in universities. 5. *Community engagement*: Foster community involvement through language clubs and cultural organizations. *Long-term goals (20 years):* 1. *Tulu language academy*: Establish a centralized institution for language planning, research, and promotion. 2. *Language preservation*: Document and preserve endangered Tulu dialects. 3. *International recognition*: Promote Tulu globally, seeking recognition from linguistic and cultural organizations. 4. *Tulu-language cinema*: Encourage film production in Tulu. 5. *Economic empowerment*: Utilize Tulu language skills for economic development. *Implementation strategies:* 1. Collaborate with government agencies, educational institutions, and community organizations. 2. Engage language experts, scholars, and cultural leaders. 3. Conduct workshops, seminars, and conferences. 4. Utilize social media and digital platforms. 5. Develop public-private partnerships. *Challenges:* 1. Competition from dominant languages (Kannada, Malayalam). 2. Limited resources and infrastructure. 3. Brain drain and urbanization. 4. Preserving cultural identity amidst globalization. *Conclusion:* Tulu language planning requires a multi-faceted approach, addressing linguistic, cultural, educational, and economic aspects. Collective efforts from governments, organizations, and individuals will ensure the preservation and promotion of Tulu, enriching India's linguistic diversity. *Call to action:* Join hands to: 1. Support Tulu language initiatives. 2. Learn and teach Tulu. 3. Promote Tulu culture and literature. 4. Advocate for official language status. Together, let's empower the Tulu language and community! #TuluLanguage #LanguagePlanning #CulturalPreservation #LinguisticDiversity #India @CaptBrijesh @KotasBJP @siddaramaiah @SahityaTulu @PMadhwaraj

Mother tongue-based society is the way to uplift the people. Few can temporarily gain from foreign languages, but the majority will fail, and in turn, their society will fail to progress. Kannada for Kannadigas is the base for progress. Rest, all are temporary. #languageplanning

"However, I feel that we are marginalised and that #languageplanning is not counted as an important area of Irish language life. I feel that the language planning officers do not have an appropriate degree or status and that we are not given enough support or the process itself.

#LanguagePlanning Officer for Galway City East #Gaeltacht said that the language planning process would be "very successful" if "the right support" were provided.

The #languageplanning officer wears "many caps". "You must be a manager, accountant, facilitator, translator, contact point, tutor, community development officer, marketing and publicity officer, linguist, sociolinguist, psychologist...
