Notes: Karnataka's energy and culture minister, Sunil Kumar, formed a committee to consider making Tulu the second official language of Karnataka. The committee is led by Dr. Mohan Alva, the chairman of Alva's Education Foundation. The committee is expected to submit a report to the state government within a week. After the report is submitted, the Bombay will make a decision. Tulu is a Dravidian language spoken by over three million people. Most Tulu speakers are native to the districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi in the west of Karnataka. Tulu is not an official language of India or any other country. Efforts are being made to include Tulu in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution. The official language of Karnataka is Kannada. Kannada is used in all correspondences at all levels of administration in the state. Other minority languages spoken in Karnataka include Urdu, Konkani, Marathi, Tulu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kodava, and Beary.
