Udupi, Jul 31: U T Khader, Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly, urged on Wednesday, July 31 that Tulu be recognised as the state’s second official language.
Addressing media persons, Khader underscored the cultural and linguistic significance of Tulu, stating, “Artists, playwrights, and filmmakers have significantly promoted the language globally. Tulu writers have greatly enhanced its reputation. Our aim is to spread the love, tradition, and heritage of Tulu across the country.”
Khader emphasised the importance of using Tulu whenever possible, noting that it unites approximately 25 small communities in the coastal region. “Tulu is a language that brings people together,” he added.
He acknowledged the strong demand for Tulu’s recognition and mentioned that discussions and meetings on the topic have already taken place. “Bengali has been recognised as a second language in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. We have also approached the Centre regarding this matter. The upcoming meeting will be based on reports from these states.”
Khader expressed his enthusiasm for using Tulu in legislative contexts and encouraged others to do the same, stating that it would bring joy and foster greater appreciation for the language.
