Telugu
Telugu
NounAdjective
pl: Telugus
As a proper noun referring to a specific language, Telugu is uncountable and does not take a plural form. When used to describe the language itself, it functions as a mass noun.
When referring to a person who speaks the language, the term can be used as a countable noun. In this context, it identifies an individual's linguistic or ethnic identity, similar to how "English" or "Spanish" can describe both a language and a person.
