		Tulu, derived from proto-Dravidian is the predominant language spoken by Hindus of various castes and by the Jains of Tulu Nadu.

		The four major languages spoken today are dominantly spoken in their respective states (Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala), whereas Tulu is spoken in a small niche, mainly in coastal Karnataka and Northern Karala (Kasaragod district).

		Languages without any power or support for their continued currency and development are bound to vanish.

		Tulu has also said she aims to break the women's-only course record of two hours 23 minutes 22 seconds that Joyce Chepchumba achieved in 1999 and possibly the 2:21:06 set in a mixed race by Ingrid Kristiansen back in 1985.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport Athletics Tulu bestows the touch of greatness on Hyde Park
		Derartu Tulu attracted comment as much for the fact she had worn a T-shirt under her vest in the sweltering heat to protect her modesty as for her performance.

		Tulu has since found herself a new British runner to torture in the shape of Paula Radcliffe, who together with Kenya's former London Marathon champions Tegla Loroupe and Joyce Chepchumba are also running in the Hyde Park event which is expecting a field of 20,000.

	Tulu Nadu : The Land and Its People by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
		Tulu language, spoken nowhere else, serves as a bond between the people of different communities, giving them a sense of separation from the rest of South India.
		The etymology of Tulu language is also not known as well the meaning of the term Tulu is a matter of conjecture.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport Athletics Radcliffe to face her nemesis Tulu
		Tulu, who also beat Radcliffe to take the Olympic 10,000 metres gold medal in Sydney 2000, was expected to be a major threat when the Bedford runner made her marathon debut in London in April, but the 2001 champion ran a surprisingly anonymous race and faded to ninth.

		Tulu's first win came in 1995, she added to her tally two years later in Turin, then won the 2000 gold medal in the Algarve.

	trinicenter.com - Sport - Ethiopia's Derartu Tulu
		Tulu, who became the first black African woman to win an Olympic title when she won the same race in Barcelona in 1992, had only returned to competition last year after taking 1998 off to rehabilitate a knee injury and to have a child.
		Tulu's time on Saturday, which was far ahead of her Barcelona winning time of 31:06.02, seems to support the claim.
		Tulu won a wonderfully symbolic 10,000 metres at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, defeating Elana Meyer of South Africa at the first Games since South Africa's readmission into the Olympic movement.

		But Tulu patiently trailed her, having been told by her coach to do whatever Meyer did but not to pass her until the final lap.

		Tulu dominated from the start and, although she slowed over the final two miles, such was her convincing lead that Worknesh Kidane and the fast finishing Jelena Prokopcuka, in second and third place respectively, were never in contention.
		Derartu Tulu is ready to battle Paula Radcliffe for the title of the world's best female distance runner after yesterday's confidence-boosting victory in the 25th anniversary Great North Run.
		And if Tulu's triumph was not quite as emphatic as that enjoyed by men's winner Zersenay Tadesse, then the double Olympic 10,000m champion was still able to send a clear message to her rivals that she is by no means a spent force at 33.
