Is the official KSEAB SSLC Third Language Tulu exam multiple choice?

No. The KSEAB SSLC Third Language Tulu paper (code 69DK) is a mixed written language examination (objective + short/long answers and composition). This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of third-language Tulu knowledge — not a full writing simulation or official translation of the board paper.

What is paper code 69DK?

KSEAB SSLC model-paper indexes list Third Language Tulu as TULU-69DK. Use the current year’s date sheet, syllabus, and model papers on kseab.karnataka.gov.in / kseeb.karnataka.gov.in for exact timing and year-specific instructions.

How long is the paper and what is the total marks?

Third Language theory is commonly about 80 marks with about 20 internal assessment toward a 100-mark subject total, and duration is often reported near 3 hours 15 minutes. Always verify the current KSEAB date sheet and model-paper instructions for code 69DK.

What is the pass mark?

Pass is commonly treated as about 33% of total marks as notified for SSLC subjects. Always verify the current KSEAB notification for pass and any grace-mark rules.

What topics should I revise for Third Language Tulu?

Revise Tulu language basics (family, speech area, script), high-frequency vocabulary and greetings, basic grammar concepts, Tulunadu cultural awareness, reading strategies, and simple composition formats (letter, paragraph/essay). Pair with official KSEAB 69DK model papers and your school’s third-language Tulu reader.

Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Tulu?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Tulu words, short phrases, or cultural terms appear when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the KSEAB paper and not a substitute for timed Tulu writing practice.

Where can I get official syllabus and model papers?

KSEAB publishes SSLC model question papers and related materials at https://kseab.karnataka.gov.in and https://kseeb.karnataka.gov.in (including SSLC model QP indexes listing THIRD LANGUAGE, TULU-69DK). Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.

1Tulu belongs primarily to which language family?

A.Dravidian

B.Indo-Aryan

C.Austroasiatic

D.Sino-Tibetan

Explanation: Tulu is a South Dravidian language, historically and structurally grouped with other Dravidian languages of South India such as Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu. It is not Indo-Aryan, Austroasiatic, or Sino-Tibetan.

2The traditional cultural-linguistic homeland of Tulu speakers is commonly called:

A.Malabar only

B.Tulunadu

C.Deccan Plateau only

D.Konkan only

Explanation: Tulunadu (Tulu Nadu) is the traditional coastal homeland of Tulu speakers, spanning parts of coastal Karnataka and adjoining areas. It is not limited to the Deccan Plateau, nor is “Malabar only” or “Konkan only” the standard name for the Tulu heartland.

3In modern everyday writing, Tulu is most commonly written using which script in Karnataka schools and public life?

A.Devanagari only

B.Arabic script only

C.Kannada script

D.Latin script only

Explanation: Although Tulu has a historical Tigalari script, contemporary school materials and common public use in Karnataka usually write Tulu in the Kannada script. It is not normally restricted to Devanagari, Arabic, or Latin-only writing in the SSLC context.

4The historical traditional script associated with Tulu is known as:

A.Ol Chiki

B.Grantha only as the sole modern school script

C.Gurmukhi

D.Tigalari

Explanation: Tigalari (also linked historically with Tulu/Tulu–Malayalam manuscript traditions) is the traditional script associated with Tulu. Ol Chiki is for Santali, Gurmukhi for Punjabi, and modern school practice commonly uses Kannada script rather than treating Grantha as the everyday school script.

5A standard polite greeting equivalent to “Hello” commonly used in Tulu is:

A.Namaskara

B.Shalom

C.Bonjour

D.Ni hao

Explanation: Namaskara is a widely used polite greeting in Tulu (shared with other regional South Indian usage). The other options are greetings from Hebrew, French, and Mandarin contexts, not standard Tulu.

6“Encha ullar?” in Tulu most nearly means:

A.What time is it?

B.How are you?

C.Where is the market?

D.How much does it cost?

Explanation: Encha ullar? is a common Tulu greeting/question meaning “How are you?” (respectful/plural form). It does not ask about time, market location, or price.

7A commonly taught Tulu expression of thanks is:

A.Dhanyavaad only as a pure native Tulu coinage

B.Arigatou

C.Solmelu

D.Gracias

Explanation: Solmelu is a well-known Tulu thank-you expression taught in basic phrase lists. Arigatou is Japanese and Gracias is Spanish; while speakers may also use loan forms such as dhanyavaad in broader Indian settings, solmelu is the distinctive Tulu form asked for here.

8Tulu is predominantly spoken in which pair of Karnataka coastal districts (core heartland)?

A.Belagavi and Vijayapura

B.Ballari and Koppala

C.Kodagu and Chikkamagaluru only

D.Dakshina Kannada and Udupi

Explanation: The core Tulu-speaking area in Karnataka is coastal Dakshina Kannada and Udupi (classic Tulunadu). Belagavi/Vijayapura and Ballari/Koppala are not the Tulu heartland; Kodagu/Chikkamagaluru are also not the primary Tulu core.

9Outside Karnataka, a well-known adjoining area with a significant Tulu-speaking presence is:

A.Kasaragod region of Kerala

B.Amritsar district of Punjab

C.Sikkim capital region only

D.Andaman Nicobar interior only

A.kan

B.tcy

C.tam

D.mal
