Similarities Between Tamil and Kannada

- In today's video we are comparing two South Indian Dravidian languages, Tamil and Kannada. We start this episode by showcasing some of the similarities between the two languages with Sneha (Kannada speaker) and Rubendren (Tamil speaker) each reading a couple of sentences that all contain terms sharing the same root. Then we will have a more challenging part with longer paragraphs in their respective languages to see how well they can understand one another.

Dravidian languages are a primarily spoken in southern India and northern Sri Lanka, with smaller numbers elsewhere. There are many Dravidian languages and their roots go back to ancient times. Telugu (తెలుగు), Tamil (தமிழ்), Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) and Malayalam (മലയാളം) are the Dravidian languages with the most speakers. Other Dravidian languages with large populations include Tulu (ತುಳು / തുളു), Gondi (గోండీ), Brahui (براهوئی), which is spoken in the Balochistan region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Kurukh (குடுக்கு / কুড়ুখ / କୁଡ଼ୁଖ), Beary (ಬ್ಯಾರಿ ಬಾಸೆ), Kui (କୁଇ), Kodava (ಕೊಡವ), Koya (కోయా / କୋୟା / कोया), and many others.
Just like their languages, the culture and history of Dravidian people is very ancient. Going back to the third century BCE, many Dravidian empires began to form and have a major amount influence outside the region linguistically and culturally. Empires such as the Chera, Chola, Pandyan, Chutu, Rashtrakuta, Vijayanagara, Pallava, Chalukya, Hoysala, and Kingdom of Mysore. The cultural influence extended to southeast Asia and locally developed scripts such as Grantha and Pallava script induced the development of many native scripts such as Khmer, Javanese Kawi, Baybayin, and Thai. Dravidian culture is unique and can be visibly noticed through traditional clothing, cuisine, music, architecture, literature, and much more. Although each region in South India will have it own distinct forms, there are similarities that can be found all across. For instance, similarities in the cuisines include the presence of rice as a staple food, the use of lentils and spices, dried red chilies and fresh green chilies, coconut, and native fruits and vegetables including tamarind, plantain, snake gourd, garlic, and ginger.
Dravidian languages have long literary traditions, with Tamil having the earliest recorded ones. Tamil literature has a classical tradition of its own which is very rich and spans more than two thousand years. Among the many historical works, the five Tamil epics Jivaka-chintamani, Cilappatikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi and Valayapathi are together known as The Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature. The earliest known literary work in Malayalam is Ramacharitam, an epic poem written by Cheeraman. The Kannada language is usually divided into three linguistic phases: Old (450-1200 CE), Middle (1200-1700 CE) and Modern (1700-present) and its literary characteristics are categorized as Jain, Lingayatism and Vaishnava-recognizing the prominence of these three faiths in giving form to classical expression of the language, until the advent of the modern era. Telugu literature also contains many masterpieces, including historical ones such as Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu (Pothana Bhagavatam) by Pothana (బమ్మెర పోతన), Basava Purana, Panditaradhya charitra, Malamadevipuranamu and Somanatha Stava by Palkuriki Somanatha, Sumati Satakam by Baddena Bhupaludu, Kanyasulkam by Gurajada Apparao, Gayopakhyanam by Chilakamarti Lakshmi Narasimham, and many others!
All in all, Dravidian languages and people have a very rich history. The modern conception of the Proto-Dravidian language, which is based on reconstruction, is believed to have been spoken in the 4th millennium BCE, and began forming into various branches around the 3rd millennium BCE.

Sir do with Pakistan dravidan brahui language with South India dravidan language
Hello Sir Bahador! I’m an Indonesian who loves to watch your videos and speak neither Tamil nor Kannada, but if I’m not mistaken, in 30:49 between the word “siriyani” and “balasi”, I heard one word that you missed in the provided text, and it sounds something like “seriyage”, so I just want to point that out incase you didn’t notice, so you could probably make a little correction on that to make the video just a tiny bit better, if that makes sense, but no matter how small I think it is always great to have text that totally matches with what the person is saying in the video.
I’m sorry if this comment might come across as offensive/rude to you, but as a perfectionist, I just want to let you know about this, despite any further action you feel best to take. Just incase you haven’t noticed this. I just feel that it would be such a regret if you miss the chance to edit the text just because you’re not realizing certain mistakes on your already great videos actually.
Sorry for the length of this comment also, all the best for all of your videos as always :D
@@IVANjeremy I believe South Indian languages are very different from North.
When did the 2 languages separate? As I know they were the same at one point.

@@roopeshs6806 i am also full kannadiga but not having contact with karnataka only tamilnadu 😅✌️ i dont know kannada to read/write but can speak tamil mixed kannada and i grown as tamilian than kannadiga sentiments
@@yinyang8254 same here 🤣🤣im a Tamilan but grown in Karnataka Bangalore no contact in tamilnadu & i know, write , read , speak fluently both languages kannada & tamil
As a Bengalurean Tamilian I can speak, read and understand Kannada and Tamil equally, so it was strange watching them struggle to understand each other 😅. The two languages are very closely related, as they are Dravidian although the influence of Sanskrit is significantly higher on Kannada than on Tamil which is the reason for the difficulty in understanding each other.
Bro 35 percent of Tamil words have sanskrit but after 1950s some of it was removed. Because of political turmoil
Also I think you believe that sanskrit came outside India 3500 years ago according to some theory. But actually Ramayana and Mahabharata extensively describes Saraswati river which actually dried up 6000 years ago and Ramayana details location of Lanka to be near equator. Pointing that the divide of Aryan and Dravidian is artificial. Refer Nilesh Oak Ji works (available in TH-cam also)
Not only that, if people are aware of synonym words in their respective languages there are more chances of understanding each other better.
being in Bangalore ur exposed to lot of languages good
Yes.Yes! Telugu,kannadam,Malayalam's are just the regional dialect of Tamil.mingled with Sanskrit!
Love from mysuru, karnataka.

actually it's painful to watch when you know both languages. it's so close and wondering how can't they understand kinda frustration.😂😂
Ikr 😂
Same 😂
So true man, 😂 unless i learnt kannada literature i was thinking it's so different from tamizh but i was shocked it's so close..
And shares the same words with one letter changed/ with different sound..that makes both speakers think it's not related to each other.. especially Tamils think why it is sounding like telugu/hindi type..or they question what language this is?
@@yinyang8254 I know right. It's same people, same language once, evolved into different accent and then dialect and then a different language altogether. Those who know both languages can realise that we are the descendants of same set/group of people (we share the same great great...... Grandparents if we trace back) 2000 years ago. But some language lunatics that knows only one language discriminate people. That's really sad.
@@hardciderenthusiast4268 💯 i agree word by word 👌 🔥😍 its the same thing i often think also...as you said language has its form when it gets far and have a different accents then it become a dialect and evolves as different language...but we have same ancestors like in tamizh we say " pangaali" means dodappa chikkapa makkalu
Who got seperated as separate family with own uniqueness with same roots...
I hope many tamizh people /kannadigas has to understand this connection soon..many seeing sanskrit as their prestige not own kannada words rgt?

Very interesting. Were you able to relate to any of the Tamil words in this video? I find Brahui quite fascinating.

Colloquial Tamil and Kannada are more mutually understandable .
Actually it's Hale Kannada and Old Tamil much more closer and much more mutually intelligible.
@@ralph6417 No bro it's middle tamizh, Old tamil is different from middle tamizh.
@@karankumarftw There is no much change between old Tamizh and morden Tamizh. Even three thousand years old Thozhkappiyam can be understood by today's Tamizh. That's not the case with other languages.
Absolutely! I'm Sri Lankan Tamil and I watch Kannada movies without subtitles. I feel like I know the language. Knowing Sinhala is a plus for me. The Sanskrit words are automatically decoded by my brain.
@@karthikvpc Yes. Thirukural is a good example too.
This is great sir. I want to tell that that Tamil-Kannada is one specific branch. They are sharing many commonalities but still very different languages. Karnataka state is very nice and quit diverse. Many cultures meeting together.

I was born and brought up in Bengaluru. My mother tongue is Telugu. My father hailed from Tamilnadu.
As a Malayalam speaker, I find this really amusing. Even though Malayalam sounds closer to Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam share many words (especially words of Sanskrit origin) that are completely different in Tamil.
Why Tamil doesn't have Sanskrit influences if compare with its other neighboring Dravidian languages?
Any historical reason for it?
@@ralph6417 I am sure there are other reasons for this as well but I think it mainly has to do with tamils actively rejecting Sanskrit in favor of pure tamil. Even here in Sri Lanka, there have been movements to rid Sinhala of Sanskrit influence and retain native elements so o guess this is not very surprising.
@@malithaw
Actually they have,just searching some related videos and I found this video from this same channel.
Idk why people's saying Tamil don't have Sanskrit influences.
th-cam.com/video/C9LgftgL1f8/w-d-xo.html
@@ralph6417 Tamil has also been influenced by Sanskrit, but not to the same extent. The northern languages have been influenced by the Dravidian languages, and the dravidian languages have been influenced by Sanskrit.
@@tijojoseph3315
Northern languages influenced by Dravidian?
That's interesting.
I know Indo European languages like Sinhala influenced by Tamil,Marathi influenced by Kannada and Odia influenced by Telugu.
I heard Dravidian languages originated from Indus valley,idk it's true or not.
There is another Dravidian language called Tulu which is spoken in Karnataka which is usually ignored. It was would be really interesting to see the similarity if you could find someone speaking Tulu.
😂
Yes, Tulu and Kodava Bhaashe must never be ignored. Sad thing is that in Karnataka, we forget to learn the other existing languages within our own people but rather learn everything else.
I’m Kannadiga from Mandya, I always liked how Tamil sounded. Love the language 😊
I'm also a ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ too. Love the way how Tamil is also unique. But at the same time, lets not ignore Tulu and Kodava as they are languages from our state.😀
@@DrLashie Kannada and Kodava are baby languages of Tamil, specially Kodava. Tamil is the mother language of every language on earth. Kamnada and Kodava are maybe 200 years old.

"Centamizh" and "Tirulgannada" are the ancient names for Classical Tamizh and Classical Kannada.
Ohh.. I don't know it as Kannada person...
What is Tirulgannada ?? I'm hearing this for the first time .
@@Variouscartoontopic Tirul / ತಿರುಳ್ in modern kannada means core or nectar in english. Here Tirulgannada means pure or kernel form of Kannada. Many other linguists also say Tirul/Tiru means colloquial. Hence it also mean Colloquial Kannada.

Vali - is commonly used word for Pain in Tamil spoken in Tamil Nadu and
Nōvu - is the common word used for Pain in Tamil spoken in Sri Lanka.

@@shankars7609 Thanks for letting me know.
@@shankars7609 Also the word Jamam is used as Saamam in. Sri Lanka. Janam is Sanam. All Sanskrit sounds Tamilified.
@@AmuthanVethanayagam yeah saamam means night right? We tamilians use that word not very often but we use it occasionally. It is just replaced with the word" raathiri"
@@sibiyae2880 Yes. of course. But poets and lyricists still use in poems and lyrics. Occasionally you would hear that word. Jamam and rathrri are sanskrit words for Night. eg. Artha saama Poojai.. Rathiri nerathu pojaiyil.

I’m a child of immigrant parents who speak Kannada. I felt good knowing the first sentence, but was lost in the second one. For The paragraph stories, I was able to get the gists of it but a few words went over my head
It's because what they speak in home differs from textbook Kannada. If she had used colloquial words, you'd have understood.
Wow. Two daughters of the Dravidian family meeting each other and introducing themselves through Indian people living in Canada. Languages are as alive as their speakers. Thanks for such a beautiful video. I'm already a fan Bahador Alast. You're spreading the flavour of the languages which we Dravidians very much love and are integrated to.

You have to bring Tamil person who has good vocabulary of Tamil words. Novu is also pain in pure Tamil, but vali is another word for pain which is used more by people.
A slight differance between novu and vali novu has wider meaning for any diseases including pain where as vali means only pain. Of course, both th words are used for pain
Yup, move also mean same in Tamil
Same for Kannada.. they should have had some one who has good kannada vocabulary.

As Malayali I can perfectly understand Tamil
Kannada A lot different
Kannada and Malayalam has many words of Sanskrit . If you listen to kannada carefully you can even understand kannada also. almost 60 percent.
Kerala was Chera Nadu before, one of three Tamil countries with three kings ruling the regions. Then north people conspired to break Tamil dominance, in Chera nadu, they introduced Sankrith to mix with Tamil to create Malayalam.... very sad.... now Tamil is gone there.....except they eat the same food...iddiuppam...puttu....etc...
@@Mr.talk1 Malayalam has more ancient tamil words than sanskrit in it.It's more of Tamil influenced. I'm A Malayali But being in Tamilnadu for 18 years.
but me as a malayali can't understand tamil apart from few words....didn't take the effort as I watch tamil movies after dubbing,,also as I'm frm northern most part of kerala we have almost no influence of tamil
@@varsha2692 Ancient tamil is different from The tamil now being used for speaking.I'm damn sure It has Ancient tamil Influence I know both the languages very well.
It is saying in Kannada "Today's Tamil is similar to Old Kannada".
That's what uneducated people say because Halegannada was difficult to pronounce like how we feel about Tamil when we hear it. There's not much similarities though intelligible to some extent. Halegannada was a complete entity is itself.
Shivanagouda patil , that saying is wrong bro😅 actually not today tamil is similar to old kannada... totally wrong..
Today both kannada and tamil is mixed and not proper ones...don't bring it inside
But palagannada and old tamizh is more very close because even the word pale
Means old in tamil..
You guys more craze on sanskrit than your own blood related language isn't?!
You even changed palegannada and say halegannada changing first letter ( ha)
😫
If palegannada is there now, it's will have respect equal to tamil but you still want sanskrit by killing your own mother language..
Use less sanskrit and replace old kannada
@@yinyang8254 we are not Christian Brain washed Dumb ass people... Don't burn you Blood here... There is no concept of Replacing Ha and Pa in Sanskrit know it...It is Kannadas Concept may be.. Haalu, Paalu, Huli Puli, Palli Halli etc...
Halegannada (Old Kannada) and Tamil are just dialects. Sanskrit got introduced into Halegannada and hence modern Kannada was born.
@@தமிழோன் I don't think so.
Your videos have shown to me that India is a world in itself where you will find so much diversity in languages and cultures. It's incredible!
Treat it as europe evry indian state = a euopean country (actually its even more diverse than europe but thats as close as we get😅) but at the same time they all have a common origin too . Its just india's own world and way cus of the complex indian philosophy we have in our lands 😁
For example:
This sanskrit verse from our vast traditions of philosophy and spirituality
Is one of my favorites and majority of indians know it
अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। (ayaṃ nijaḥ paro veti gaṇanā laghucetasām)

@@kdineshkumar3783 Please do understand, there is no mother of all languages, they evolve and grow in many ways, before you can claim mother or origin of something, please understand that you have to be cleared of confirmation Bias. Also understand, It is for a reason they call "Ta-Mil" and the same way, there is a reason they say "Sam-Skru-tham" and the same way they would say "Kan-na-da" and like wise "Te-lu-gu" because, they don't originate from Tamil nor that Tamil originates from the others, the distinction in each language makes these languages branch out separately. Just because English is a germanic language, Germans here in the UK never say that English comes out of German and German is an Indo-European language with and links with Sanskrit, so, Sanskrit never claims that German comes from Sanskrit. Thats why there is the Pre-German - Pre-Sanskrit Language called Proto-Indo-European. Hence, the same way, there is a Proto Dravidian Tamil-Kannada base root. In this, I'm still trying to understand the exact distinction of Telugu.

That Kannada-speaking lady must have been definitely listening to Tamil songs or would have interacted with at least a few Tamilians since she could immediately understand the meaning of azhaku which is a very commonly used word in Tamil songs. & she could understand the Hist of the sentences pretty well. Just my assumption.
Yes that's may be true ..Baglore people are easily speak Kannada Tamil Telugu easily..I am from North Kannada I am unable to understand most of words from that guy
@@sangameshdanashetti4200 The Kannada spoken in Northern Kannada is different than in South Karnataka. It is much further away from spoken Tamil, But a person very proficient in Tamil and also Kannada can understand other, I mean Northern Kannadiga and Tamil. When I mean very proficient, the Kannadiga should know Hale Kannada and must have read the literature, similarly the Tamil should have studied Tamil all the way through College or atleast High School. The difference between North Kannada and South Kannada is the choice of words, both Kannada and Tamil have a very vast native vocabulary.
I am a tamilian lives in Bangalore itself where I can read write and speak kannada and Tamil without a single mistake ❤️
south indian movies have been popular all around the subcontinent that certainly made south indian languages exotic.Many people from Nepal,Pakistan ,North India,Bangladesh will watch this video

Anyone who speaks Kannada fluently and clearly , can speak or understand 700 languages in this world. This was clearly mentioned by a renowned Jain saint ''Kumudendu Muni'' 1500 years ago, in his publication ''SIRI BHOOVALAYA''.Also Kannada language was the administrative language in and around Dharamapuri district in Tamilnadu during 7th century.This is mentioned in Tamilnadu gazetteer.
700 lang🤡🤡

@@stephenponraj9523 i think the 700 languages are all Dravidian languages like Konkani, Malaylam and maybe some Indo-European languages like Marathi which is very close to India. Remember India has about 10000+ languages (dialects if u call it) so 700 is not a big ask
@@rishkavas423 i didnt tell india dont have 700+ lang

This is nice. I was able to understand 90 percent of both languages. However, some of the kannada spoken here is hard to decipher (siri for instance) because it is textbook language. The Tamil spoken here is way different from the common spoken Tamil.
that is thuya tamil which was spoken early
I don't know Kannada but i can understand 80 Percentage.
Novu is Pain in Tamil Also. The word used in Some movie songs also. The guy don't know Tamil well. I think Tulu is very closer than Kannada to Tamil.
Second Word is i think "Adhikaalai Kanavu Palikkum Enbadhu Janangalin Nambikkai"
"Sahaayam" means help the word used in Trinelveli slang.
Loll Sahaya and novu is kannada word maybe its kannada influence.

I'm a Tamilan living in Bangaluru, and I found that you can do some consonant shifts to get the other language's equivalent... Swapping B and V
Balyal is valyal (bangle)
Swapping H and P
Haallu, hoovu is paal, poovu (milk and flower)
And Vattu is Battu-Koli/ Batkoli in kannada (koli alone means chicken)
Great video! Thank you for making these
Hello Bahador Alast, This is a request from long time regarding a video for comparision between Sanskrit and Dravidian Languages especially Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam. Hope you will bring this as it helps to understand sharing between language families in curent spoken forms.

Most of the sentences of Indian languages end with verb. All Indian languages follow the same principles. Sanskrit influence is found in all Indian languages however Tamil language has iits own structure with less letters . All Indian languages are pronounced as they are exactly written because of sanskrit influence. Tamil language is a beautiful in structure with an independent nature with 9 clauses of nouns and old Tamil grammar is very complex. Even though I speak Tamil at home I find very difficult to understand Tiruvasagam and many complex literature. The spoken movie oriented Tamil is very simple made for convenience purpose. I know to read , write kannada very well . I was brought up in bangalore and I studied Tamil through my parents. I heard spoken Tamil is easy however the literature and sangam style of written scripts are complex and they are not easy to understand. I like hale kannada very much words very much. Halle kannada does not use sanskrit influence. That shows the beauty of kannada with more native words through indigenous flavor. There are many beautiful words such as Manne, oota, balase, Ulise etc. Even kannada can use many native pure words. Like that many Indian languages can use their own native identity . I love Tamil, kannada, telugu, malayalam , English, hindi , sanskrit and all languages of the world for world peace and harmony.

@@kandasaravanan1441 I don’t think it’s right to be that harsh. It’s natural for a non-native Tamil or any non-native speaker of a language to have a certain disconnect with their native language. It also depends upon the kind of exposure & cultural influence the person might have had w.r.t the mother tongue. I too used to have this feeling before..
Thanks Bahador for making this video.
She: kalu
He: oh i didn't know because we call it kaal🤦 is it that big difference? I've seen many tamilians struggle to understand nearest words in kannada. I don't know why
Great video , also I would give some more information about Kannada .Dialects of kannada from different corners of state are so so different that sometimes people don't understand each other although they are practically speaking the same language. Also older kannada called "Hale kannada" might be even closer to Tamil or other south indian languages.
you are think of our state...according to writing system of dravidian language, it slipts into proto to kannada and proto tamil.
proto kannada slipts into new kannada, telugu, tulu, kodava and shinhala which speaks in srilanka.
proto tamil has no branch, but tamil and tulu combained and developed maleyalam. forget about dialect look at languages.
@@ravikirans5420 Ur a fool , sinhala is an Indo-Aryan language and not Dravidian language , also I was explaining about various dialects of kannada which u won't know if ur a non kannada person , and the evolution list ur telling is wrong: First it was proto-Dravidian then it split into North Dravidian (Spoken in North India) and South Dravidian which further split into Tamil-Kannada and then later split into 2 separate groups Kannada languages and Tamil languages , which have different scipts see Kannada-telugu have similar script and Tamil-Malayalam have similar.

She Kannada girl said Bangalore.. But it's bengaluru..
Bendaklu+ uru. = Bengaluru.
Uru is Sumerian word. World's first city name uruk.. 4000bc
We continue uru word as city place..in more than 6000 year's. Pls don't delete in 2021..
Use word ancient uru for city place word instead of ore...
road way, the Veda Bhāśā word "pura" becomes "vura" due to (pa, pha, ba, bha, ma, va interchangeability rule) which holds in case of all Bhārtīya languages but not always. "vura" becomes "ura" by losing initial "v" . This is how you arrive at "ura". This "ura" becomes "ur" in Tamil and "uru" in Kannada.
@@amritanshj before birth of Vedas sanskrit.uru is proto Dravidian word used indus valley civilization..
Before indus valley it's used in Mesopotamia civilization on perfect world uru..in 4000bc
May be sanskrit Vedas borrow pura from uru Dravidian word...

Kannada is very much understandable for Tamil person. Don't know why he struggled to translate. All south indian languages are clans of Tamil. If we know one language we can understand the other by 60 percentage atleast.
This is not true. The reality is that most South Indians are exposed to each other's languages due to travelers/neighbors/entertainment media etc. If a person from a remote interior village from Karnataka were to meet a Tamilian from a remote interior part of Tamil Nadu, they will NOT be able to communicate with each other barring hand gestures and a few common words. Kannada, Tamil and Telugu are all fully developed and distinct languages. However, Tamil and Malayalam are indeed similar and what you said applies to those 2 languages.
@ஶ்ரீௐ பொய்how can u call them clans.
@@pissupehelwan not true..I'm a keralite and i don't understand tamil apart from few words..and I think it depends upon the exposure..many people watch tamil,hindi movies here so they learn it..in my case I haven't taken an effort to learn tamil...and an ordinary villager tamil or keralite won't understand each other unless it's frm border area kanyakumari. .as I'm from north most part of kerala we have almost no influence of tamil
@ஶ்ரீௐ Kannada may but Telugu is not related to prakrit.....
@ஶ்ரீௐ prakrit is northern tamizh which is heavily aryanised during rig - vedic pastoral dielect migration.... Prakrit(northern tamizh) has 12 vowels, 18 consonants like tamizh which u can't see in sanskrit(artificial language) , so, anyway both telugu & prakrit were different dielects of ancient tamizh which is older than artificial language sanskrit.....

Munjane can be broken into mun and jaane (jaava/jaavu). I believe mun means first and jaava means the hour (jaava actually refers to one fourth of the day, so there are four jaavas in a day). That makes munjaane a samasa I guess.

That's so awesome!! Are you a Malaysian (Sarawakian) Indian?
@testbug837 "Bhasa Indonesia" or "Indonesian" isn't a language though. Its just Malay mixed with Dutch words.
@@vicnad92 Hmm yes and no. Bahasa Indonesia is the name for the Bahasa Malayu spoken in Indonesia. It has undergone some transformation over the years. Like the vocabulary is the same for the most part but their grammar has changed a bit, especially their 'imbuhan' (Suffixes and prefixes)
@@reubenismyname yes. Because it was based off of the Malay variety spoken in the Riau Islands (a chain of islands near Singapore), thats less than 1% of total Indonesian landmass. The reason it was chosen is because, Malay was the language of trade in the region. Hence it should be called Riau Malay to be exact. Today, no one in Indonesia speaks "standard Indonesian", a language made by elites of Indonesia based off of Riau Malay, to unify the 1000+ ethnic groups. Most Indonesians speak their own mother tounge mixed in with "Indonesian" & "English". Outside of major city its more obvious. As most languages are Austronesian, they can get by speaking in different languages to one another.
@@vicnad92 Exactly! That’s what we learnt in history class in Malaysia haha. Whenever I go to Indonesia, I speak in Bahasa Melayu and they understand 70-90%. Also, I personally feel that it’s like British English and American English. Indonesians, in my point of view speak the more textbook version. In Malaysia, we call in Bahasa Baku and we struggle to speak like that everyday. But Indonesians do it so well. But yeah, Bahasa Melayu used to be the Lingua Franca. Watch Bahadur’s video on Tagalog and Indonesian. It’s very eye opening
Queen of all languages in the World kannada ❤️
Mother of all language is tamil. Tamil language is created by Lord shiva. In ancient period kanada came from the root 🌱tamil.

Yeah correct.
My comparison should be like Hindi vs Sinhala or Hindi vs Bengali but not with English which is way more distant.
Kannada and Tamils are geographically seperated by ghats .
Kannada is a highland plateaue language , whereas Tamil is a lowland coastal plain language . Culturally people are too different . Kannadigas are more similar to Telugu and Marathis Culturally than Tamils . Apart from having same proto language about some 3K + years back , nothing connects Tamilians and Kannadigas . Infact most of us hate each other .

The word Thiru means eternal in Tamil even though it is equated to Shri. You will see lot of place names starting with Thiru in south India. Tirupati, Thiruvananthpuram and lot in TN.
There’s a theory of Thiru being a corruption of Shri as is Siri in Kannada.
@@akashrao7496 I don’t think so. Thiru is a pure Tamil word. Lots and lots of use of Thiru in ancient Tamil texts. Also Sri coexists with Thiru.
@@greatwisdom2867 Thiru is in kannada also, but not in use, we have a town named Thiru Narasipura.

Just to mention, 'Munjane' in Kannada means dawn and not exactly morning. And 'tanadu' in Tamil mostly means 'tanna' in Kannada.
Also, 'vaaLndu vandadu' in Tamil is 'baaLutta banditu' in Kannada.
'ena' in 'turalamena' is 'endu' in Kannada.
Munjane is morning just like Beligge I Guess. Maybe Munjavu is dawn. I might be wrong.

Need a small clarification. Do these participants know little bit of other language? how easy it would be otherwise for a Tamil and Kannada speaker to understand each other?
Well, Reuben said he has never been exposed to South Indian languages other than the Tamil he was surrounded by back in Malaysia. As for Sneha, it is hard to say. Having lived in a city as cosmopolitan as Bangalore, she may have friends from different regions in India and with different mother tongues.
Im a tamil from chennai and my dialect spoken here already has a bunch of hindi kannada telugu sanskrit and other vocabularies
I find kannada quite comfortable and not easy
Because i felt some words are just pronounced differntly like
P -H shift
Palu in tamil ,Halu in kannada ,means milk
V-B shift
Va in tamil ,ba in kannada, means come
Also there are also vocabs seen only in kannada and vocabs that kannada has from ancient roots of dravidian which tamil doesnt or not prominent in tamil
And more sanskrit vocabs
So i conclude that kannada is more comfortable for a tamil speaker from any part of tamilnadu than telugu or other language except malayalam

ಮುಂಜಾನೆ (Munjane) can be broken down. It comes from base word Munjavu(ಮುಂಜಾವು). 'Munna+Javu' (ಮುನ್ನ+ಜಾವು) where 'Javu'(ಜಾವು) comes from 'java' (ಜಾವ) which means Sun. Munna(ಮುನ್ನ) means Before. So, Munjavu means 'before sun and Munjane also means 'Before Sun' but its just a different slang of pronunciation for Munjavu. Java can be also take meaning like 'day time', where it is the time when there is light. So, it also means 'Before light'.
Very interesting 👌 👍
The Kannada word "shuru" is derived from Arabic. In fact, there are other words used in Kannada that are of Arabic origin.
