Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Telugu spoken in Telangana was a mix of various tribal languages, Deccani Urdu, Kannada and Marathi.

The Telugu language was spoken in three different regions. These were mainly Telangana, Coastal Andhra, and Rayalseema region.

The Telugu spoken in Telangana was a mix of various tribal languages, Deccani Urdu, Kannada, and Marathi.

Telangana had a majority of people who belonged to tribal communities, backward castes, and Muslims.

Telangana, under the Nizam’s rule, focussed more on Urdu language as the medium of instruction. This slowed down the promotion of modern education. As a result, the literacy rate of Telangana was only 9% in 1948, and for women, it was only 4%.
