Tulu is one of the important languages belonging to the Dravidian family of languages and spoken by about 1.5 million population in the Udupi and South Kanara (Dakshina Kannada) district of Karnataka as well as the northern part of the Kasaragod District of Kerala. Though confined to a small area the Tulu speaking community with its distinct socio-cultural traits, religious cults, artistic traditions and theatrical forms has made significant contributions to the cultural heritage of Karnataka and through it to the totality of Indian culture and civilization.
Since this language displays certain features of the Central and Northern Dravidian languages and since it has made certain innovations not noticed in other South Dravidian languages, it is believed that this language branched off from the parent language before other languages of the South Dravidian group came to be developed into well defined independent languages and hence can be considered as the earliest offshoot of the South Dravidian.
In a Greek Papyrus of 2nd Century B.C. known as Charition, the characters of the Western Coast of Karnataka speak a peculiar language which is now being proved to be Tulu. This also lends support to the historicity of this language.
Though spoken by a highly advanced and educated community, the Tulu language did not develop much of classical literature due perhaps to lack of royal patronage. But we do come across a large mass of folk literature handed down to us through oral tradition. Considering the small area in which this language is spoken, the output of Tulu oral tradition is really marvellous and the folk epics and ballads found here can be ranked among the well-known folk epics of other regions.
The recent discovery of a couple of inscriptions as well as two epic poems 'Sri Bhagavato and Kaveri' in what is known as the Tulu Script has completely shaken our notions about the use of this language in mass-media and creative writings in ancient times. One of the inscriptions is ascribed to 15th Century by the epigraphists whereas the epic poem 'Sri Bhagavato' can safely be ascribed to the 17th Century as per the horoscope of the author recorded in the work. The other poem also belongs to the same period as testified by the language used in the poem. A manuscript of another prose work is also discovered recently These factors enable Tutlu to occupy a place of pride among the major literary languages of India which possess classical literature of earlier ce
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
