Tulu and Tamil are two distinct languages, but both belong to the Dravidian family of languages. Tamil is spoken primarily in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, while Tulu is spoken in the Tulu Nadu region, which encompasses parts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts in Karnataka and the Kasaragod district in Keralam. Both languages also have their own separate literary traditions. Tamil is written in the Tamil script. Tulu, on the other hand, was traditionally written in the Tigalari script, but the Kannada script is more commonly used today.
