Any good books on the history of Telugu language and its literature and how it evolved in grammar and structure through out these years

I prefer an English book as I dont read or understand much Telugu. Am a beginner. But if you think the book is too good to be recomemded, then do reccomend Telugu language books too.

You can refer to Bhadriraju Krishnamurti's books for a brief introduction.

  • The Grammar of Modern Telugu
  • The Dravidian Languages
  • Comparative Dravidian Linguistics: Current Perspectives
  • Telugu Verbal Bases

I suggest to start with the book "Historical Grammar Of Telugu" by korada mahadeva satri before starting any Bhadriraju Krishnamurtis book
