From Speaking Telegu
Telugu Wiki
This site exists to assist English speaking peoples around the world to learn Telugu. It helps if you have a bunch of Indian friends that speak Telugu, that will listen to you, laugh at you and help correct your tongue. I'm adding my own phonetics as I think I hear it. I hope you enjoy the site and learn with me as I learn. I'm lucky to work with a crew of really cool Teluguese, or is telugites, or is it Telugindese, or is it Telumundonians? <GRIN> To be proper and respectful they tell me it's Telugites.
So who speaks Telugu you ask. Well until they correct me, I'll stick with this. When growing up Indians learn English, Hindi and a state, regional and or local languages. The last three may be all the same, I guess. Hindi is the national language. Thoose in the state of Andhra Pradesh, which is in southern India, speak Telugu. It's a state language. Most people who speak Telugu don't speak Hindi a lot and stick to Telugu.
Just in case you're wondering why I created the page, it's because I know they are talking about me when they switch from english to jiberish, so I'm trying to learn it so they are stuck whispering about me. All joking aside I actually find it fasinating and enjoy the challenge of learning something new and different. I had been writing the words and phrases on yellow stickies. I started to run out of places to stick them. So one of bright co-ops on our team suggested a wiki. Bright idea Josh [:-).
