The book published by Tulunada Samskriti Vedike Trust, contains all letters of ancient Tulu script with illustrations to represent corresponding words used. In addition to vowels and consonants, the book also contains a chart of Tulu numerals. The 24 page Tulu script book priced at Rs 50 will be marketed by the Trust.
