Telugu language
The Dravidian language Telugu (;〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 , ) is native to India. It stands alongside Hindi, English and Bengali as one of the only languages which predominate in more than one Indian state;〔(Schools, Colleges called for a shutdown in Telugu states )〕 it is the primary language in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as in the town of Yanam where it is also an official language. It is also spoken by significant minorities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry, and by the Sri Lankan Gypsy people. It is one of six languages designated a classical language of India.〔 〕 Telugu ranks third by the number of native speakers in India (74 million) (2001 Census), fifteenth in the Ethnologue list of most-spoken languages worldwide and is the most widely-spoken Dravidian language. It is one of the twenty-two scheduled languages of the Republic of India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20131029190612/http://censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Census_Data_Online/Language/Statement1.htm )〕
In loans from Sanskrit, Telugu retains some of the features that have subsequently been lost in some of Sanskrit's daughter languages such as Hindi and Bengali, especially in the pronunciation of some vowels and consonants.〔

==Etymology==
The etymology of Telugu is not known for certain. It is thought to have been derived from ''trilinga'', as in ''Trilinga Desa'', "the country of the three lingas". According to a Hindu legend, Shiva descended as a linga on three mountains: Kaleswaram in Telangana, Srisailam in Rayalaseema and Bhimeswaram in Coastal Andhra; in the legend, these marked the boundaries of the Telugu country.
