Telugu is a Dravidian language

the reverter is a vandal. there is no dispute. fyi

this paragraph, you are reverting says,

According to famous linguist Chenchiah, Telugu is Vikriti, that is a language formed by modification of Sanskrit and Prakrit. It would appear that Andhras adopted a form of Prakrit, which, in course of development, became the immediate ancestor of Telugu.[8]

sanskrit, prakrit are INDO EUROPEAN languages NOT DRAVIDIAN. therefore the SOURCED sentence is COMPLETE NONSENSE.

THERE IS NO NEED TO IMPLEMENT THINGS LIKE INDO EUROPEAN LANGUAGES INTO THE ARTICLE

BTW THE TELUGU LANGUAGE HAS THE LARGEST DRAVIDIAN COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO NEED FOR A SOURCE FOR IT. YOU CAN EASILY SEE THIS IN THE INDIAN CENSUS PAPERS. VERY OFFICIAL.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.212.62 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Telugu is hypothetically classified as Dravidian. It has very heavy Indo-Aryan influence which is seen in whole telugu literature. Telugu split from proto-dravidian in 1500 BC. So Sanskrit and prakrit influence cannot be ignored
