How Transliteration Works (Technical Insight)

Telugu Transliteration converts English characters into Telugu characters based on sound. Since Telugu is a phonetic language, the script perfectly mimics the pronunciation.

For example, typing "Amma" directly translates to "అమ్మ". The system is intelligent enough to handle double consonants (Vatthulu) like 'mm' becoming the 'ma' vatthu under 'ma'.

Input (Teluglish)	Output (Telugu)	Grammar Type	Explanation
Naa desham	నా దేశం	Sentence	Direct phonetic mapping.
Amma	అమ్మ	Vatthu (Conjunct)	'mm' creates the vertical conjunct.
Krushi	కృషి	Vowel Sign	'ru' maps to the 'rushitvam' sign (ృ).
Jnanam	జ్ఞానం	Special Compound	'jna' maps to the special ligature 'జ్ఞ'.

Comprehensive Telugu Grammar Basics

Telugu is a Dravidian language, known as the "Italian of the East" because most words end with a vowel sound.

1. Gunintalu (Vowel Signs)

When a vowel attaches to a consonant, it changes shape. This is called Gunintalu.

Ka (క): k
Kaa (కా): kaa
Ki (కి): ki
Kee (కీ): kee
Ku (కు): ku
Koo (కూ): koo
Ke (కె): ke
Kae (కే): kae
Kai (కై): kai

2. Vatthulu (Conjunct Consonants)

When two consonants come together without a vowel in between, the second one becomes a subscript (written below). Examples:

Akka (అక్క): k + k
Amma (అమ్మ): m + m
Rathri (రాత్రి): t + r

A Brief History of the Telugu Language

Telugu is a Classical Language of India with a literary history spanning over 2,000 years. It has the third-largest number of native speakers in India. The script evolved from the Bhattiprolu script, a variant of the Brahmi script.

Why is Unicode Important?

Older fonts like Anu Script or Shree Lipi are non-standard. If you send an email in Anu Script, the receiver needs that exact font to read it. TranslateInHindi.com generates Unicode text. This ensures your text is readable on any device (Android, iPhone, Windows) and any platform (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.).

Advanced Tips for Power Users

1. The Sunna (o)

The 'Sunna' or Anusvara (ం) represents the 'm' or 'n' sound. For example, "Andham" -> "అందం". Typing 'm' or 'n' at the end of a syllable usually triggers this.

2. Retroflex Sounds

To type retroflex sounds like 'Ta' (ట) or 'Da' (డ), usually typing 'T' or 'D' (capitalized) or simply relying on the context of the word works best.
