“The launch of these two platforms is a major step in promoting and preserving Tulu language and culture on the global stage, ensuring that future generations can continue to learn and engage with this rich cultural heritage,” Mr Badikana said.
Wiktionary is a free, multilingual online dictionary providing definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, translations, and more. Unlike traditional dictionaries, it is collaboratively edited by volunteers from around the world, making it a dynamic and ever-evolving resource. Tulu Wiktionary will provide in-depth information on words in Tulu language, with usage examples, word origins, and grammatical details, offering immense value to language learners, linguists, and cultural scholars alike, they said.
