EARLY HISTORY OF ANDHRAS

Andhras and the language Telugu (A note)

JULY 30, 2010 | VENKAT.B.RAO | LEAVE A COMMENT The language the people of Andhra speak is Telugu. Tri-kalinga, Trilinga, , Tailangu, Tilinga, Telunga, Tenugu all these forms of the word Telugu were in use for centuries in the past, but now disappeared. Kalinga-desam (the country of Kalinga) in three distinct parts was known as Tri-kalingam. The area that was north to the river Godavari was once known as Kalinga-desam. This area was again subdivided into three parts - the area from Mahendragiri to Bheemunipatnam was called Uttara-kalingam (Utkalam) i.e., North Kalingam. Utkalam now denotes the entire area covered under the state of Orissa; - the area from northern bank of the river Godavari to Bheemunipatnam was known as DakshinaKalingam i.e., South Kalingam; - the remaining area was known as Madhya-Kalingam i.e., the area situated in between the north and south of Kalinga-desam. The word Trilinga might have been the Sanscritized form of the words Tilinga or Tailangu.
