Telugu (from the Dravidian language family) is a native language of over 80 million people, predominantly in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and also in Yanam of India. An additional 20 million Telugu speakers are spread over other parts of South India, the U.S., Australia, and the rest of the world. Telugu is called “The Italian of the East” as its words end in vowels similar to Italian. Telugu is spoken in 3 distinct dialects: Royalaseema, Telangana and Coastal Telugu.
