Tuļu is one of the Dravidian Languages, spoken only in the Collectorate of South Canara by about 500,000 people, and is nearly exactly confined between 12.30 and 13.30 degrees N. latitude, extending eastward to the foot of the Ghats. It cannot boast of any literature in the proper sense of the word, nor has it a character of its own. In writing, a modification of the Malayalam alphabet was used, till the Basel Mission Press employed Canarese characters in printing. This precedent has how been almost generally followed. The first book ever printed in Tuļu, is the Gospel of St. Matthew lithographed and published in 1842. Withing 1847 the whole of the New Testament was finished, and a new typographical edition of it was issued in 1859. Besides this, the following was published at Mangalore: The Psalms, Liturgy, Hymn-Book, First and Second Catechisms, Old and New Testament Bible Stories, Short Bible Stories, Prayer-Book, Flattich's Household-Rules, Congregation- Rules, Selection of Scripture Passages. Special acknowledgement is due to A. Burnell Esq. M.C.S., who not only took much interest in the publication of this book, but facilitated it by a liberal donation towards the cost of printing.
