It is taught in primary and secondary schools. It also has official language status in the Yanam District of the Union Territory of Pondicherry.Īlthough Telugu is the dominant language in Andhra Pradesh, it has not achieved universal acceptance as a lingua franca in the state due to a variety of reasons, including lack of teachers, confusion between classical and colloquial standards, and the dominant role of English among the educated elite as the exclusive medium of post-secondary education.
