'''Telugu script''' ({{langx|te|తెలుగు లిపి|Telugu lipi}}), an [[abugida]] from the [[Brahmic family]] of scripts, is used to write the [[Telugu language]], a [[Dravidian languages|Dravidian]] language spoken in the [[India]]n states of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]] as well as several other neighbouring states. It is one of the [[official scripts of the Indian Republic]]. The Telugu script is also widely used for writing [[Sanskrit]] texts and to some extent the [[Gondi language]]. It gained prominence during the [[Eastern Chalukyas]] also known as Vengi Chalukya era. It also shares extensive similarities with the [[Kannada script]].
