Тулу
The various medieval inscriptions of Tulu from the 15th century are in the Tulu script. Two Tulu epics named "Sri Bhagavato" and "Kaveri" from the 17th century were also written in the same script. However, in modern times the Tulu language is mostly written using the Kannada script. The Tulu language is known for its oral literature in the form of epic poems called "pardana". The "Epic of Siri" and the legend of Koti and Chennayya belong to this category of Tulu literature.
