The Tulu script, also known as the Tigalari script, strongly resembles the script of Malayalam language. Whether Tulu borrowed its script from Malayalam or not has been disputed for some time. The Tulu Brahmins wrote the Vedic mantras in Tulu script. Since Malayalam had evolved as an independent language almost 1,500 years after Tulu bifurcated from its Proto-Dravidian roots, it is safe to conclude that the Tulu language evolved a script, which was then borrowed by the Malayalam language.
