Sociology of Language of Telugu Minorities in Tamil Nadu

. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF TREND IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, 6 (5): 1612-1616 (August 2022)

Abstract

This paper tries to unearth the sociology of language of five linguistic minorities whose mother tongue is Telugu and who live in southern region of Tamil Nadu. Their linguistic behavior is dominated by regional language Tamil which ultimately dominates in all respects. This leads to linguistic convergence, linguistic shift and eventually linguistic loss. The diminution of language use in peripheral and core domains of language use has been identified. Since this is a minority language many of the language oriented provisions are missing to minorities which are compensated by regional language. This stance has been proved with empirical evidences through this paper. Dr. T.
