Bhadriraju Krishnamurti (19 June 1928 – 11 August 2012) was an Indian linguist, specialized in Dravidian languages. He was born in Ongole in Madras Presidency of British India, now currently in Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] He was the vice-chancellor of University of Hyderabad from 1986 to 1993, and founded the Department of Linguistics at Osmania University, where he served as a professor from 1962 to 1986. His magnum opus, The Dravidian Languages, is considered a landmark volume in the study of Dravidian linguistics.[2][3][4]
Krishnamurti was a student and close associate of Murray Barnson Emeneau. He got his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955 and 1957 respectively.[5][6] His grandson, Ravi Bhadriraju, was a rhythm guitarist in the famous death metal band, Job for a Cowboy.[7]
