Every year on August 29, Telugu Language Day is marked in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the classical languages in India and is spoken in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The day falls on August 29 because on this day prominent Telugu writer, Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy was born. He was born on August 29, 1863, and was one of the popular linguists during British rule.
Ramamurthy was one of the popular linguists during the British rule that advocated the use of language and stood firmly against the use of scholar language.
Spoken Telugu is different from written Telugu due to which learning written Telugu was not helpful during understanding or communicating. But however, with the help of Ramamoorthy spoken Telugu came to be standardized and was accepted by scholars. That is the reason, Telugu is used in schools and educational institutions as the medium of instruction, examination, and writing.
On this day, the government of Andhra Pradesh provides funds and presents awards with the objective of the betterment of the Telugu language. The department of culture is responsible for organizing the day on behalf of the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
