May be you have to ask some one to record a small wav file on how we
pronounce telugu.
Tulu and Telugu are two different languages.
Even though are Indian languages, they are spoken in two different
regions in India.
Telugu is spoken in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India
and Tulu is spoken in the of Karnataka in India.
