Untitled[edit]

Would somebody add dates to Nannayya and others? I wish some Telugu friends would add more detail (like dates) and improve this artilce. I speak Tamil and I don't agree with the above user's comments. Tamils praise Telugu as a sweet language. Tamil poets Subramanya Bharati and Baratidasan extol telugu. Late record of literature has got nothing to do with the quality, beauty and value of a language. Telugu is not a new language, by any means just because the formal literature starts later. Sanskrit does not even have a script of its own and Vedas were oral tradition and so on. No one dare say Skt is an undeveloped language. I honestly hope some Telugu friends would take interest to improve this article. I found the articles on Telugu Script and Language quite informative, but they have to be properly wikified. --Aadal 18:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestions. --Gñāna (talk) 20:52, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please translate as well as transliterate[edit]

The unlinked, untranslated titles of author's works are of no use to English language readers, who we must assume (safely, I think) do not read, write, speak or understand the Telugu language. --Gnana (talk) 09:02, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Cleanup" of article[edit]

I have edited this article to better accommodate Wikipedia's standards of presentation and language (see [WP:CLEAN]). I have maintained the number of lines and import of the original editors' sentences so as to maintain the integrity of inline citations as well as ethically maintain the import of the original editor, though I have flagged certain statements that I, as a non-expert in the field, intuitively see as misleading, ambiguous, peacock-like or otherwise incomplete in nature.

Romanization Changes To better reflect pronunciation, as well as a standardize the format in which titles, names and genres are used, I will proceed to romanize all Telugu language statements in the body of the article. The problem with this article, as it currently stands and as so many other articles that heavily reference in their body "romanization" of Indian proper nouns and Indic- derived words and phrases, is the haphazard rendering of said proper nouns and phrases by individual editors. Unless explicitly referenced otherwise (as is the case with names e.g. "Rao" wouldn't be edited to "Raavu" the romanization of the Telugu lipi spelling), Indic renderings will be appropriately edited. --Gnana (talk) 10:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

I expanded this article by investing lot of time and effort with about 50 references. Please dont do disruptive edits to fulfill your ego and agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.29.251 (talk) 02:11, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify/Cite the point about Sangam Literature[edit]

This is mentioned in the article:

Telugu Language most of words are derived from Sangam literature

Can someone cite it? I highly doubt it, as Telugu was branched out long before. This sentence most definitely was written by some Tamil language fan. This sentence is also not specific.

I'm removing the line for now. If anyone can bring the source, please feel free to add it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Criticpanther (talk • contribs) 16:48, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to merge the "Telugu poetry" article into this one[edit]

Since nearly all Telugu literature before 1800 is poetry, it doens't make sense to duplicate the content in both places. We should just merge the small amount of unique content in the "Telugu poetry" article into this one, and then link "Telugu poetry" to this article. If this article ever gets unwieldy, we can easily split off relevant parts (ex: "Telugu poetic forms", "Modern Telugu literature", etc). I'm going to wait a week (until May 30, 2020) before doing the merging.

I have completed the merge. Prad Nelluru (talk) 14:23, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
