Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Toda is a Dravidian language well known for its many fricatives and trills. It is spoken by the Toda people, a population of about one thousand who live in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India.For a Dravidian language, Toda''s sixteen vowels is an unusually large number. There are eight vowel qualities, each of which may occur long or short. There is little difference in quality between the long and short vowels, except for /e/, which occurs as when short and as when long.Toda has an unusually large number of fricatives and trills. Its seven places of articulation are the most for any Dravidian language. The voiceless laterals are true fricatives, not voiceless approximants; the retroflex lateral is highly unusual among the world''s languages. Toda voiceless fricatives are allophonically voiced intervocalically. (There are also invariably voiced fricatives, , , , though the latter is marginal.) The nasals and /r , r, j/ are allophonically devoiced or partially devoiced in final position or next to voiceless consonants.
