Phonology
[edit]@User:Taivo: Other than articulation consonants and vowels, there is nothing related to phonology and I dont think even that should not be removed as it is mentioned in grammatical context. But I notice that you deleted lot of content. Please dont do disruptive edits. (Nagarjuna198 (talk))
- Read WP:BRD. You edit, I revert, you discuss. You don't replace your objectionable text until you have built a consensus on the Talk Page. These pages on grammar in a Wikipedia context do not normally include phonology. And if they do, then the phonology must be done linguistically and not in the sense of traditional grammar. The consonant and vowel charts should match those in the main article Telugu language, not be your creation. Typically there are separate article for "grammar" and for "phonology", if justified. --Taivo (talk) 07:17, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- @User:Taivo: I am ok creating seperate article for phonology. But "Bhaasha Bhagaalu- Parts of speech", Vibhaktis which are grammatical concepts and the below should stay
- Dvitva aksharās (ద్విత్వ అక్షరాలు): If two similar consonants comes together in a word, the letter formed from that is called Dvitva aksharā. Example: The word "నమ్మకం" (Nammakam) is formed with letters Na+(ma+ma)+kam = Nammakam.
−
- Samyukta aksharās (సంయుక్త అక్షరాలు): If two different consonants comes together in a word, then such letter is called Samyukta aksharā. Example: In the word "ధర్మము" (Dharmam), ra+ma gives 'rma' in the word Dharmam.
−
- Samślesha aksharās (సంశ్లేష అక్షరాలు): If three different consonants comes together in a word, then such letter is called Samślesha aksharā. Example: In the word "రాష్ట్రము" (Raashtram) , Sha+Ta+ra gives 'Shtra' in the word Raashtram.
−
- Mahāprāna aksharās (మహాప్రాణ అక్షరాలు): Consonants with stress (Vattu) on the syllable are called Mahāprāna aksharās. Example: ఖ, ఘ, ఛ (Kha, Gha, Chha)
−
- Alpaprāna aksharās (అల్పప్రాణ అక్షరాలు): Consonants without stress on the syllable are called Alpaprāna aksharās. Example: క, గ, చ (Ka, Ga, Cha)
- Also Vowel and consonant chart matches Telugu article. Only this is that this chart is about phonology.Nagarjuna198 (talk)
Verbs
[edit]The page is lacking any discussion about the Telugu verbal system. This seems like a substantial omission, especially when compared with other grammar pages for other languages. Can someone who has knowledge of Telugu please edit this article to include a section on the verbal system? 97.96.108.83 (talk) 18:33, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- I was looking for something on Telugu verbs here and I'm astonished there is just absolutely nothing. So I added a section for it, empty for now, I might try to write a few basic things about it if I can find a good resource, but it would be much better if someone with real knowledge would write on this.

- It is quite possible to write a basic summary, but unfortunately, apparently, the best sources for such a simple basic summary are not considered sufficiently "verifiable" by Wikipedia. To wit, the Google Doc "Informal Description of Telugu Grammar" by Malik, 2021, at <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OHqWFBpQA4yOoNP1sIEi2QsfUQj1cmOZcD673BLdD1k> is in fact by far the best source for such a simple basic summary. But Wikipedia will not accept edits or additions to this page based on this source. Skummafremdygest (talk) 22:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Update: I acknowledge that Google Docs is not a sufficiently reliable source, and I am glad that I have now been able to source similar edits to a reliable published work. Skummafremdygest (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Guṇasandhi and Vr̥ddhisandhi
[edit]"The guṇasandhi takes place when a word final -a is followed by either -i, -u or -r̥."
"The vr̥ddhisandhi ... takes place when a word final -a is followed by -ē or -ai, -ō or -au, and -ar or -ār, ..."
In both examples, the notation for the word that follows shows that it ends in "-i, -u or -r̥" (for gunasandhi) - but the examples show that the word begins with that vowel; if so, should the notation be amended thus: "The guṇasandhi takes place when a word final -a is followed by either i-, u- or r̥-" and "The vr̥ddhisandhi ... takes place when a word final -a is followed by ē- or ai-, ō- or au-, and ar- or ār-, ..."?
