Tulu is now spoken in the regions of Udupi, Mangaluru and parts of Kasargod - once known as Tulu Nadu. Prof Sreedharan observes that Tulu has close similarities with Malayalam but that
unlike Malayalam which has 51 letters, Tulu has only 49. The Malayalam letters of 'Ra' and 'Zha' are not present in Tulu.
