Questions
There are several unanswered questions about Tulu language and Tigalari script. I've listed a few below.
- What does the double fish emblem of the Alupas mean?
- Why did the brahmins use Chola Grantha script when Kannada script was readily available?
- How did people learn how to read and write in the olden days?

Tigalari Unicode
Efforts are underway to make a comprehensive Tigalari Unicode proposal.
There have been a lot of people who have worked making a standardised Tigalari script. Despite this, Tigalari remains at a stage where it is not accurate or complete.
Tulu script has been called Tigalari in this proposal as this script was also used by the Kannada speaking Havyaka brahmans. The only evidence found so far for an appropriate name for this script has been Tigalari. I would therefore like to propose using the name Tigalari script instead of Tulu script.

Kannada script for Beary and Tulu
"Noted linguist and lexicographer U P Upadhyaya said that there was no need to invent its own script for Beary language, as it could easily be written in Kannada.
Speaking on the topic ‘regionalism in Beary language’ at a programme organised by Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy here on Sunday, he strongly argued that both Beary and Tulu should be written in Kannada, despite the fact that Tulu has its own script.
He warned that using an unfamiliar script for a local language would only lead to the isolation of that language.
The linguist also pointed out that language exists only in dialects and not in script. He went on to describe the script as nothing but a photograph of the spoken word."

"A well-preserved 700-year-old palm leaf manuscript set which belongs to the Palimar Math, a paryaya peetha of Udupi Sri Krishna Math, was the cynosure of all eyes at the Jnana Ganga exhibition organised as part of the World Sanskrit Book Fair which concluded here on Monday.
