    Welcome to TeX.SX! Unfortunately there is no telugu language support in babel so far.

  • You just want 2 or 3 lines? Then full support of babel is surely not a requirement.

For just a couple of lines, here is what you can do currently with luatex, which is the recommended engine (besides xetex) for the so-called ‘complex scripts’. No Telugu font is included in TeXLive afaik, and Vani is a Windows font.

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage{babel}

\babelfont[telugu]{rm}[Renderer=Harfbuzz]{Vani}

\begin{document}

English text. \foreignlanguage{telugu}{భారతదేశంలో అత్యధికంగా మాతృభాషగా
మాట్లాడే భాషలలో తెలుగు నాలుగో స్థానంలో ఉంది.} English text.

\end{document}
