Saving and Uplifting the Tulu Language

In a globalized world, regional languages face a severe risk of fading away. Children are the true roots of cultural preservation. Jokule Ujjaal recognizes that the most effective way to save, protect, and uplift Tulu is by introducing it to young minds through lighthearted, engaging rhymes. By replacing foreign nursery rhymes with soulful local melodies, this book serves as an educational toolkit that fosters linguistic pride and keeps Tulu alive for future generations.

A Historic Collective Effort

This book is a testament to community harmony, featuring the contributions of over 30 dedicated Tulu poets and writers who joined hands globally to curate these verses. Every poem is meticulously presented in both standard text and the authentic Tulu script. This design reintroduces the ancestral script back into standard households. Published via Notion Press, this collaborative gem is a must-have to ensure our children grow up celebrating their beautiful mother tongue.
