Telugu edit

Please explain what criteria you use to determine the language of the Vishnukundin and Haihaya inscriptions. Please provide the text.

Radha Krishna edit

Please explain why you neither use nor discuss the inscriptions in the book stated below. Radha Krishna, Budaraju 1971 Early Telugu Inscriptions (Upto 1100 A.D.). Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Sahitya Akademi.

Gotram edit

Please could someone explain the word "gotram"? It's in the first sentence but many English-speakers will not know what it means. I found something suggesting it meant groups of families so I've put that in for now. --HJMG 07:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

There are other words which also need explanation: for example, nandi.

Readers would probably find it helpful if the introduction told them where these inscriptions are - the general area. --HJMG 08:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
