Answer:
Telugu is the major language spoken in Andhra Pradesh
Answer:
Telugu
Telugu is the official language of Andhra Pradesh, which is also the mother tongue of nearly 90% of the population. The Minister of Tourism and Culture has declared Telugu a Classical Language. Urdu is the largest minority language. Tamil, Kannada and Odia are spoken in border-areas.
About 77% of the population of Telangana speak Telugu and 12% speak Urdu. Before 1948, Urdu was the official language of Hyderabad State, and due to a lack of Telugu-language educational institutions, Urdu was the language of the educated elite of Telangana.
According to experts, the Telugu script evolved over a period of time - the mother script of Telugu and Kannada being the same. The script began evolving from the time of the Mauryan Empire. ... Those who argue that Telugu is older than Tamil, peg the date of origin of Telugu to at least 1000 years BCE (3000 years old).
