The author reveals that these outlines are the result of a good deal of personal intercourse with the Tudas, during a residence of twelve years on the Nilgiris. This language, of which but a very scanty fragment remains in use, has more sounds than any other Dravidian dialect, and some of these are peculiar to it, seeming to have been modified by the position and habits of the tribe. With the kind assistance of the late lamented JW Breeks, the first Commissioner of the Nflagiris, the subject of the Tuda language was investigated a few years ago in connection with a small Archaeological Society in Ootacamund. At the request of Colonel Marshall, the author has put the results into this shape, to be printed in his work on the Tudas. He thinks that the facts of the language are here gathered together. It is becoming daily more difficult to ascertain what is originally Tuda and what is borrowed by that people from the later immigrants. The book is an indispensable one.

George Uglow Pope or G.U. Pope was an Anglican Christian missionary and Tamil scholar who spent 40 years in Tamil Nadu and translated many Tamil texts into English. His popular translations included those of the Tirukkural and Thiruvasagam. He later took to teaching, running his own school in Ootacamund for while and then moving to head the Bishop Cotton Boys' School in Bangalore and after returning to England worked as a Lecturer at Balliol College, Oxford. A statue on the Chennai beach recognizes him for his contribution to the understanding and promotion of the Tamil language.
