| Existence of any Language can be continued only by practicing . It should start from grass root level. Adults must encourage their children to speak tulu at home or in society.I can see in our native that tulu speaking people drastically reduced instead they adopted Kannada or English which they feel more proud. Tulu such a sweet language we must put our efforts to preserve its existence. | |
