Learn Tulu Script: Are You a Poojary? Master the Double-Loop! | Series #8

Learn Tulu Script: Write Poojary (Pūjāri) | Master the Double-Loop | Series #8 ✍️ Are you a Poojary? Learn to write your name in the traditional Tulu Script (Tulu Lipi)! 🙏 Namaskāra! Welcome to Lesson 8 of Solmelu Studios' Word-by-Word Tulu Script Series. In this lesson, you'll learn to write Pūjāri (commonly spelled Poojary or Poojari*) while discovering one of the most distinctive vowel signs in the Tulu Script—the long *ū mātra*, with its beautiful *double-loop shape. We also explore the cultural legacy of the Poojary/Billava community and its contributions to the history, social reform, culture, sports, and public life of Tulunāḍ. Our unique Word-by-Word approach teaches the Tulu Script through real words instead of alphabetical order, making it fun, practical, and easy to remember. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 START LEARNING TULU SCRIPT 🎥 FREE Sunday Live Tulu Script Course (Complete Playlist)    • Free Tulu Script Course (Tulu Lipi) | Solm...   ✍️ Learn Tulu Script: Word-by-Word Series (Complete Playlist)    • Learn Tulu Script Word‑by‑Word (Non‑Linear...   🔔 Subscribe for more FREE Tulu Script lessons    / @solmelustudios   ⬅️ Watch Lesson #7 – Write Śeṭṭi (Shetty)    • Learn Tulu Script: Write Shetty | Master t...   ➡️ Continue to Lesson #9 - Write Tulunāḍ    • Learn Tulu Script: Write Tulunad | The Tul...   🗣️ Learn Spoken Tulu (Shorts Playlist)    • Conversational Tulu: Byte-Sized Lessons   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • How to write Pūjāri (Poojary) in the traditional Tulu Script • How to write the long vowel ū mātra • How the ū mātra creates the distinctive double-loop shape • How to write the Tulu consonant ja • How to write the long vowel ā mātra • How to assemble all the components to write the complete word Pūjāri ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction 00:57 - The legacy of the Poojary community in Tulunāḍ 01:40 - Phonology of the word "Pūjāri" 02:37 - Syllable 1: "Pū" – The Double-Loop "ū" Mātra 04:10 - Syllable 2: "Jā" – New "Ja" Consonant + "ā" Mātra 07:06 - Syllable 3: "Ri" – Review and Assembly 08:08 - Writing the complete word "Pūjāri" 11:36 - Final recap and practice ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✍️ PRACTICE Write Pūjāri (Poojary) at least 10 times in your Tulu Script notebook.
