After years of trying (not sure why), Telugu (along with Kannada) is 'confirmed' as a 'classical' language "subject to the disposal of a petition in the Madras High Court opposing the move on the ground that Telugu did not enjoy antiquity for the prescribed period." What tf does it mean? I have no clue.

Quote:
HYDERABAD: On the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Union government has officially confirmed its earlier decision to accord classical language status to Telugu for which the A.P. Official Languages Commission had made relentless efforts.

The Centre has addressed a communication to the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore, and the University Grants Commission (UGC) to take steps immediately to give the status to Telugu...http://www.hindu.com/2010/03/20/stor...2061710100.htm
Quote:
The first Telugu inscriptions were found on coins in Kotilingala, Andhra Pradesh. Inscriptions containing Telugu words dated back to 400 BC were discovered in Bhattiprolu in Guntur district. The English translation of one inscription reads: "Gift of the slab by venerable Midikilayakha".[7] A Brahmi label inscription reading Thambhaya Dhaanam is engraved on a soapstone reliquary datable to the 2nd century AD.[citation needed]

Primary sources are Prakrit/Sanskrit inscriptions found in the region where Telugu places and personal names are found. From this it is known that the language of the people was Telugu, while the rulers, who were of the Satavahana dynasty, spoke Prakrit....Telugu words appear in the Maharashtri Prakrit anthology of poems (the Gathasaptashathi) collected by the first century BC Satavahana King Hāla....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telugu_language
Oh well, money involved somewhere, I'm sure.

Super = Super. Jalak = local slang for surprise/scare/glimpse/flash/warn etc. More Hindi meanings here: http://dict.hinkhoj.com/shabdkosh.ph...A4%B2%E0%A4%95
veera = brave/heroic/could also be terrific.. naari= woman/lady.

May I ask what's the context? It's not a sentence.

Doesn't sound like Telugu,... atleast, I can't think of anything that sounds like that.

What is the context?

chenpe could be cheppe/cheppu misspelt, but otherwise the rest is not Telugu.

Firstly, please refrain from using SMS language here. Secondly, the phrase/sentence you quoted is definitely not Telugu.
