  Would somebody add dates to Nannayya and others? I wish some Telugu friends would add more detail (like dates) and improve this artilce. I speak Tamil and I don't agree with the above user's comments. Tamils praise Telugu as a sweet language. Tamil poets Subramanya Bharati and Baratidasan extol telugu. Late record of literature has got nothing to do with the quality, beauty and value of a language. Telugu is not a new language, by any means just because the formal literature starts later. Sanskrit does not even have a script of its own and Vedas were oral tradition and so on. No one dare say Skt is an undeveloped language. I honestly hope some Telugu friends would take interest to improve this article. I found the articles on Telugu Script and Language quite informative, but they have to be properly wikified.
