Telingan.adj.

/təˈlɪŋɡə/

Forms: Also 1700s–1800s Tellinga, 1700s Tellinger, Tellingy, Telingee, Talinga.

Etymology: Of uncertain origin: supposed by some to be the original form of the word Telugu, and held to be itself derived < Sanskrit Trilinga meaning ‘the three lingams’, according to an alleged tradition that the god Shiva descended in the form of a lingam upon three mountains said to mark the boundaries of the Telugu country. But Dravidian scholars are inclined to view this as a mere etymological figment, and even doubt whether Telugu and Telinga have any original connection. It is certain however that 17th cent. English writers called the language Telinga, and that in Hindustani a Telugu is called Tilanga and the Telugu country Tilangāna: compare Rājpūtāna.
