South Indian language “Telugu” is the mother tongue and official language spoken by majority of people of Andhra Pradesh. Euphonic sweetness, richness, beauty and grace etc, all fall short in praising the greatness and glory of Telugu language.
Famed Emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire, Sri Krishnadeva Raya once quoted that – “Among the nation’s languages, Telugu is the best”. This classical language of India is also referred to as “Italian of the East”, for it is the only language other than Italian where every word ends in a vowel. It is also often said that Telugu language is sweeter than honey.
In spite of such a predominant position for Telugu language, in recent times it is losing its luster and slowly moving towards a potentially endangered status in the face of onslaught by globalization, Internet, English Medium Studies and western culture. So, as an earnest effort to awaken the sleeping Telugu pride and revive its glory back, Telugu language lovers have started wonderful Telugu websites and blogs, some targeted especially towards children and others to the Telugu speaking people of all ages, thus preserving the greatness and keeping the Telugu language alive.
Here are some of the Best Telugu websites and blogs contributing to the preservation, propagation and extension of Telugu language worldwide.
