1. The Telugu language, mainly spoken in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is a Dravidian language that evolved from Tamil, however, much of its higher vocabulary is borrowed from Sanskrit. To someone who cannot read the script used to write the Telugu language, it will resemble a series of circles and semi-circles with lines and dots around them.
2. A person who natively speaks the Telugu language. Most people from Andhra Pradesh are a homogenized mix of South Indians (Dravidian people) and North Indians (Indo-Iranian people), however, it is probable that a person from Andhra Pradesh will have more Dravidian blood than Indo-Iranian blood.

Get the Telugu mug.It's one of the most beautiful languages in India and is spoken by Andhrites (people of Andhra Pradesh). Some of the dickheads here either don't know Telugu or are suckers. Anyway, Telugu is a really nice language when spoken the right way with the right emphasis for each letter. It can also sound soft (unless the voice is really rough or hoarse) and it can really convey many emotions 'coz it's got a lot of vocabulary as well. I'm proud to be an Andhrite. xD

Get the telugu mug.
1) An ethnolinguistic group native to south-central India. (Indian is not an ethnicity, it's a nationality because there was no concept of the country of India before the year 1947, whereas the Telugus as an ethnicity have existed for thousands of years). It's said that they're directly descended from a group called the Proto-Dravidians having some Indo-Aryan blood in them via intermarrying, with more Dravidian blood than Aryan, respectively. The Indian states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are considered to be the homeland or motherland of the Telugu people.
2) A Dravidian language, descended from Proto-Dravidian, however, most of its formal vocabulary comes from Sanskrit (just like English is descended from Proto-Germanic, most of its formal vocabulary comes from Greek and Latin).
