You lost me there in calling Sankrit the mother language. Telugu has a different lineage and Sankrit is alien to Indian Sub-continent. Please stop using HN to subtly push your agenda.

True. But of all South Indian languages, Telugu shows the most Sanskrit influence.

> Sankrit is alien to Indian Sub-continent

This is a bizzare assertion. Classical Sanskrit was developed in India. That is likely true of even archaic forms of Sanskrit and the Prakrit substrate.

Words from Sanskrit can be found not only in several Indian languages but even in some south east asian languages. I speak four languages out of which three have words from Sanskrit. Learn a bit before alleging things.
