Kannada and Telugu are considered as sister languages of South India. Some words are almost same among them and many are just a small variants. The scripts of these languages almost resemble each other. When one tries to find out which one is older, no perfect evidences are found. Some say telugu and some kannada. I have tried finding out this in my own way.
The merits i have considered here are:
1. Many languages can be derived from a parent language.
2. Child languages may derive its own script some time later to derived language and gradually drift off from its parent over a period of time.
3. So, the language with older script is older.
4. The information i got from is from genuine source.
5. The results are bound to these inputs only. Results may vary if more constraints are put.
The scripts of telugu language of various times/ages are as given below. Observe the letter ‘ka’ in these images.
These resemble the ‘ka’ of present kannada script. There may be few other letters like this. There is another chart which tells the lineage of telugu script. Here too the telugu is said to be derived from old kannada.
Hence we can derive a conclusion that Kannada is older to Telugu.

Thnx kaushik, I would have hated u if ur research output was in fav. of telugu 🙂
December 27, 2009 at 11:51 pm
u stupid
September 10, 2010 at 12:28 pm
kannadigas are more fanatical about their language.probably it is out of complex that the language might be reducing in strengh due to emergence ofneighbour hood states influence on the state.one professor in kannada has gone to the extent of telling that kannada is older to sanskrit.

idiot telugu..this wiki has been written recently by telugu idiots..it only says that it is a form brahmi script..who cares…kannada inscriptions far more than telugu inscritions..andhra is ruled by kananda or tamil kingdoms for close to 2000 years…there is not enough evidence in favour of telugu..crap telugu culture..it sucks

Kannada lovda ka balls..Now every where it is english. With out english india can’t survive as the major cities all are being grown on their peaks because of outsourcing companies and soft ware companies 67% from the U.S, 13% from U.K, 10% from the rest.(because of those cities the revenue..or income 45% to 55% to their states) especially Hyderabad and Bangalore. Even real estate survives 80% because of these job holders. By the way modern telugu is the language which is very familiar to the people as they can speak 50% in karnataka. Telugu people don’t know the language kannada even a little in any area hardly 10% at borders, but telugu films are the films making big collections these days in karnataka as telugu industry(TW) is the biggest, well known in india next to bollywood. Even they left “Madaras” they made HYDERABAD city Which is known for its IT, pearls business, Bio technology, etc.. Reached as the Fourth populous city in india in a short span of time. Chennai is at 6th. People say Bangalore the silicon valley..of india where u the people have no IMAX..Sure it is the cheap and best of all the A1 cities in india. Telugu people die for development. Even bangalore’s real estate is being rocked by Telugu people. Telugu people are like Americans in india. Hyderabad has sikh village, Tamil streets, Agarwals, sindhis. etc by far wen hyderabad city was going modern in 1960′s bangalore just after 1990′s because of IT. These days in bangalore we here hindi before that nothing. Only because of telangana issue hyderabad’s development is stoped. before 5 years bangalore is nothing to compare with hyderabad as it was being grown in all the aspects Every body knows hyd dominated bangalore’s It for 3 years IT sector. Sure if hyd’s development stops! option is bangalore..to every body, as others can’t stay in chenni. if u ask any north indian where do u like to stay among these cities Muje hyd coffee lug tha hain. because of hindi and the culture familiar to their’s.
August 20, 2012 at 12:52 pm
U stupid telugu s. . Kannadigas give respect to all languages and not like u . . Bengaluru is more developed than hyderabad in education technology literacy . . There is proverb in kannada “Hadhigetta hyderabad ” wic means things should not get worst has hyderbad . .
August 31, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Kannada won 8 jnanapeeta awards … highest than all Indian languages
Hindi 7

November 16, 2012 at 2:19 pm
You Telugu ass hole: You guys don’t have anything else other films to discuss. The number of people in Bangalore from your place is more than.. we living in Andhra. that proves we have enough resources to earn our daily bred hear itself. Your state has improved little bit from the money from Tirupati.. without Venkateshawara… you guys are Govinda Govinda…
September 8, 2013 at 6:18 pm
You Kannadiga asses forgot one thing. You so called king himself agrees Among all the languages Telugu is superior,especially Your stupid Kannada
March 19, 2007 at 9:47 am
@ashu. thanks. but even if the result was otherwise, it would have been just a collection of facts, and not manipulated one. i dont think you are a good critic!
March 20, 2007 at 4:18 pm
nice news thank you bye
October 3, 2010 at 10:33 am
what agreat relief to you.is it not? I will please you further. One professor ,similar to you,in Bangalore university told that kannada is older to Sanskrit.you should run mad on the street shouting .Go to A.P.you will not see petty characters like you .I am also a kannadiga.
July 15, 2011 at 11:33 am
Instead of being proud of ur language u r insulting,U absolutely have no manners.Whether its kannada or telgu u should respect all the languages and its people!
October 8, 2011 at 1:28 pm
yes.Iam proud of kannada.Kannada ve satya.Telugu is Asatya!I want to know from yiou what should I say about Tamil?
March 31, 2007 at 2:02 pm
@satish: thanks.
May 18, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Thanks for the information….
Also can you display the first scripts of both the languages also how old they are?
May 20, 2007 at 10:29 am
@Naveen: You can find good amount of info from the link i have shown(click on word ‘source’, point-4).
July 17, 2009 at 12:14 am
The chart is bullshit ! where is the brahmi script the mother of telugu-kannada script…Totally made up chart…Telugu is definitely not derived from kannada…Are you out of ur mind? They had a common scrip called Telugu-kannada(read wiki for more information)
December 20, 2009 at 11:49 am
I don’t want to give any commentson this topics.But ,I have been seeing more and more fanatic attitude in Kannadigas.The population of Kannadigas is only 35% and that is the reason probably.
September 25, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Kannadigas suffer from Inferiority complex .They never talk about of Tamil.They are afraid of them.Even among 35%of Kannadigas mulakanadu , Aruvelu and Velanadus are basically Telugus.In their houses they talk Telugu with local mix.Go to A.P.,you will never hear these stupid talk of who is great.They like kannadigas.Krishnadevaraya is Tulu.But you see he is called Andhra Bhoja.You will never hear much of kannada poets as compared to Telugu.Even One Professor in Gulbarga criticized Karnatak govt.for celebrating Krishnadevaraya,s 500year throning ceremoney and told openly that he did nothing for Kannada.He toldthat Telugu is the best language among the Indian languages.
July 15, 2011 at 11:31 am
I guess u r telgu guy and u r pissed off because kannada is older than TELgu..Shows how inferior u r ..LOL 😀
October 20, 2011 at 10:47 am
hi friend
who told you that kannadigas form only 35% according to census 2010 kannadigas forms 70% urdu 7% telugu 6% tamil 5% marathi 6% tulu 3% konkani 1% kodava 1%
we are not suffering from inferiority complex never for your information who developed telugu language kannada poet like nannayya bhat and narayanabhatt translated mahabaratha to telugu and chalukya kannada king vishnuvardhana encouraged telugu among andhra kannadigas(present day telugu brothers) even c.narayanareddy a great philospher of ananthpur district said that the people of andhra were reading jaimuni bharatha in kannada only
we are very proud not arrogant that kannada literature starts from 4th century and telugu literature starts from 10th century that to from kannada poets even great telugu kavi srinatha also a kannada brahmin
krishnadevaraya kannadarajyaramaramana encouraged telugu in andhra
if kannadigas are arrogant definitely they never encouraged telugu in andhra
accept the fact and remember we kannadiga u telugas are brothers
November 24, 2011 at 7:13 pm
Hi man just look at what he written in his book (krishnadevaraya) or refer wiki pedia, there is one sentence telgukandanada oh kannadaraya. kanda is not the word of telagu and more ever himself he mentioned why I written in telagu because he was ruling all telagunadu on that time .you remember krishnadevaraya never fought with any kannada kings but he did with reddyies and other tealgu kings and mad his country that’s why he called himself as andrahboja.is their any meaning in telgu to explain that andraboja? modatiga choodu yavaru mavallu ,emi chesadu anni.
August 20, 2012 at 1:00 pm
U stupid fellow wat u know about kannada language and poets . . Kannada older than telugu . . Kannada poets hav won gyana peta award than any other language poet . . Wat u r not even one . . And hw dare u talk about kannada language
September 8, 2013 at 6:26 pm
Yes asshole I am Telugu, your Kannada is tasteless like your food.
July 2, 2016 at 3:16 pm
Bangalore is occupied by Hindi speaking north indians, Tamils and Malyalis. Atlleast Tamils are dravidian brothers with similarities to Telugu and Kannada. I respect Tamils for throwing out Hindi from Tamil Nadu.We are all Dravidian’s!
August 8, 2010 at 4:58 pm
stupid
March 13, 2011 at 7:31 pm
bahh ill tel ya 1 thing.. u cant jst say dat modern kannada is older thn telugu. i accept the fact dat old kannada is the mother for both kannada and telugu.. but dat dosnt mean modern kannada is older..
its jst called ‘hale kannada’, but it had equal words frm telugu also.. the language gt devations.. mod kannada retained the same wrd but telugu was different wrd derived..
no language among mod kannada nd telugu is older than each othr.. ty both gt splitted frm old kannada at the same time..
June 14, 2011 at 10:21 am
Guys, We are all Indians first and then we are Kannadigas or Telgaids. Let’s not develop hatred against each other in the name of Language. All of us love our language,on the contrary we must also learn to respect our fellow- Indins’ language too. Great poets from both languages like Kuvempu, Purandara dasa, Vemana, Krishnadevaraya, etc have strived to instill good things for the betterment of the people in their own respective languages. We, as either a True Kannadiga or True Telgaid, must only learn to understand their teachings and follow them in our living, rather calling out each other as STUPIDS and abusing each other.
We know Kannada and Telugu are Sister Languages. Accordingly, even we must learn to develop brother hood and live in harmony.
Kannadave Sathya!
July 2, 2016 at 3:30 pm
I agree
June 14, 2011 at 10:32 am
Guys, its evident from Genuine sources and also Wikepedia, that Modern Kannada and Telugu have branched out from Old Kannada or Hale Kannada. In that case, my dear Kannadaigas, whu should we argue? This itself is sufficient enough to prove that Ours’ is the oldest language. Telugu, although has great literary works, our Kannada ancestors have produced much older Lietrary works in Hale Kannada. Accordingly, its clearly evident that Kannada is the oldest among the two languages.
And also, we Kannadigas fought for the Classical Status, not the Telugu people. But, once Kannada was declared as Classical Language, even Telugu people insisted that Telugu also be declared as Classical Language.
So, Telugu guys, grow up!!!! Dont be envious that Kannada became Classical lang. If you really considered Kannda and Kannadigas as your brothers, why would you fight to make Telugu as Classical Language as soon as Kannada was given Classical Status?
You never realized the importance of your own language until, we Kannadigas fought for the Clasical Status is it?
And, one more thing!!!
Dont you dare call, my Kannada Brothers and Sisters as “Stupids”.
Have some descency in what you speak and mind your language.
This only reflect how arrogant you guys are.
Learn from the Kanadigas man!!!
Siri Kannadam Baalge !
July 15, 2011 at 11:35 am
Amazing and matured reply ! 🙂
September 24, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Both telugu and kannada got classical status at the same time
July 8, 2012 at 3:48 am
Try to Calm Down Sir, We must understand that Both Kannada and Telugu brothers seem to pass silly comments on each other…..kindly donot refer / blame the entire community.
May 10, 2013 at 11:48 am
superb…i love namma kannada.!!!
October 5, 2018 at 1:22 pm
Very sensible answer brother.
June 14, 2011 at 11:04 am
Kannada is only oldest language among the two.Being a telugu guy I completely agree with what my anonymous friend commented above..
Hats off to Kannadigas.
June 14, 2011 at 3:10 pm
I appreciate you. Being a Telugu guy, you have agreed that Kannada is the oldest. Educate your fellow Telugu friends also about this!
July 15, 2011 at 11:36 am
Awesome!! 🙂
November 9, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Common what is this nonsense.. who said kannada is old..? 😉 😉 people will laugh. I agree telugu and kannada guys looks like brothers and sisters..
But kannada people have some foolishness i believe. They should know few things. Rajashekar reddy who is the chief minister of A.P till 2009 commented that when telugu was made as classical language, he requested to do the same for kannda. thats why you people are able to say kannda is also classical
February 11, 2012 at 1:26 am
because he knew well about Kannada more than Telugu

Hey Venkat,
Do you also know, what YSR said when he was CM and at the height of Krisna water dispute between AP and Ka’taka ?
——-
—–
wait,
—–
—–
YSR said, he has a soft corner for karnataka.
and
Life went on in AP as if nothing serious has happened.
And as for as Kannada is old, read atleast wikipedia etc,. Without some basic knowedge about antiquity of Indian languages, do not post nonsense
here.
June 20, 2011 at 7:32 pm
you idiots, english is more famous then these two languages in these two states. English speaking is regarded as higher standard and more people are learning english. Usage of english words is growing among local people. Common people are changing by adopting new words. You guys are already lost your native stuff. Look at your self, your thinking and your life style.
June 23, 2011 at 11:45 am
Hey Buddy! Stop abusing man. U have named yourself Indian, and u dont hold pride in speaking for, ur language. What an ungrateful creature on planet u are!
First respect ur lang, then the rest.
October 5, 2018 at 1:26 pm
Nice answer dude. I really respect your comment. Both languages use more English words in their native mother tongue.
August 4, 2011 at 2:37 pm
HELLO TELUGUS
YOU PEOPLE ARE CHEATERS ONLY LAND GRABERS FROM POOR PEOPLE THAT IS THE REASON YOU PEOPLE ARE STAYING IN KARNATAKA AND TAMILNADU
YOU PEOPLE HAVE GRABED LANDS LIKE CHITTOOR TIRUPATHY NELLORE AND KANNADA PLACES UR THE PEOPLE WHO BRING PROBLEMS BETWEEN OTHER LANGUAGES
GREEDY AND CHEATERS
May 3, 2012 at 8:03 pm
dear I am from chittoor…. how much do u know about andhra and its borders etc…. even in the districts of kolar and banglore etc of karnataka and districts like krishnagiri, kanchipuram, vellore, chennai, coimbatore ect tamilnadu speaks telugu and you fool dont know this and talking about our districts…
coming on to the script
both telugu and kannada has came from kamboda script
and at one stage telugu has improved its writing style and you kannada fools dont want to develop has in the same stage of the script till date and now you r arguing…
finally
telugu is the language came form sanskrit(language spoken by gods)
ours is “italian of the east ” and your kannada has come from some ****** language….
September 27, 2012 at 2:45 pm
who the fuck are u talking about kannada
April 19, 2013 at 6:58 pm
I’m from shitty\beautiful bangalore and we……
1.We like people from allover…
2.We tolerate anythings u throwup…
3. We even are outnumbered in Bangalore and we don’t give a rat’s ass about it..
BUT Speak ill of my LANGUAGE.., ill shove a bullet down ur ass…
September 8, 2013 at 6:30 pm
Who the fuck are you to talk about Telugu. All the Indian languages were came from Sanskrit not from you dumb old Kannada (FYI).
August 11, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Hey You Champs.
Stop Talking around this issue further.
Let me give you some interesting facts on the history of Kanadaandhra .
1) The Source of Gangas rulers( who ruled Southern Karnataka) or precisely where they got preaching from Simhanandi is KADAPA in AP
2) The Source of Vengi Cahlukyas (Who ruled present day VIZAG) is Present Day BAGALKOT in Karnataka
3) The Source of pampa Kavi is Karnataka,who is still revered by Telugu poetic sector
4) The source of Tenali Ramakrishna is from AP who is still remains in the folklore and tell tale of Kannadigas.
5) Only Sankranti and Ugadi are unique to both KANNADIGAS and ANDHRITES .
6) Many Words ,Consonants ,Vowels are used interchangeably in both the languages where you won’t find such extent of linguistic exchanges between any two languages of INDIA or infact the world is considered.
and many more.If only you scratch your history and have broader sense of understanding of give and take policy attributed to our ancestors.Its only the thin line on paper divides us or to be precise thin line of our perceptions.
So stop babbling around this issue further. Both Kannadigas and Andhras and Marathis were from Same lineage according to SANGAM Literature of Tamil.
Learn to live like brothers and sisters.
September 19, 2011 at 10:47 am
Very mature reply.country needs people like you
May 21, 2012 at 11:48 am
Visakhapatnam was ruled by King Visakha Varma before the time of Christ, according to Hindu Puranams. It was a part of the Kalinga Kingdom under Ashoka’s rule in 260 BC, and until the 16th century AD it was part of the Utkala Kingdom. The city passed later to the Andhra Kings of Vengi and after that to the Pallavas.
What is this shit -> vengi chalukya bagalkot BS!!!
September 29, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Yes, I completely agreed with your point. These stupid minds omitting nonsense knowledge. Let them ask to refer the pages of history and leave their point of view.

Kannada lovda ka balls..First india has no source to survive our selves therefore we got IT from out of..if u speak kannada r telugu nobody gives jobs r keeps food. Now every where it is english. With out english india can’t survive as the major cities all are being grown on their peaks because of outsourcing companies and soft ware companies 67% from the U.S, 13% from U.K, 10% from the rest.(because of those cities the revenue..or income 45% to 55% to their states) especially Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Come on Guys,
STOP IT!
Both Kannada and Telugu are derived from a common ancestor.
As vikas Gowda said, both are sister languages.
To add, Ruler Krishnadevaraya is still equally remembered by both of us.
In fact, Kannadigas and Telagites are most friendly people.
Telugu is spoken widely in Karnataka and Telugu films are deeply appreciated.
Similarly in some villages in A.P, I have seen use of Kannada script for writing Telugu.
We have same history. We are strong. We are Indians.
October 20, 2011 at 10:33 am
hey gelayas
kannada and telugu are sister language and both the people have same history donot quarrel with the sister lets us live with present condition for information purpose i cite some clues about kannada and telugu
emporer nrupathunga said that from the banks of river kaveri upto the banks godavari was karnataka that includes present maharastra andra karnataka people were speaking kannada only. but in 10th century onslaught of jainism and veerashaiva forced the poets of kannada to protect their vedic system they revived granthastha bhasa like telugu in andhra prakrit apabramsha in maharastra nannaya bhat and narayanabhatta kannada poets translated mahabaratha to telugu and hemadri panth wrote dharma shastras in marati. eastern chelukyas encouraged the telugu in andhra and made it popular among andhra kannadigas (present days telugu brothers)
and seuhana kings of devagiri encouraged marathi among northern parts of karnataka (present day Maharastra)
so we can conclude that the people of karnataka mahaarastra , and andhra are one and the same stock common history comman culture comman festivals etc.
jai mahakarnatandra
April 13, 2012 at 6:19 pm
just go to 2nd century BC, there live a king called SALIVAHANA his dynasty ruled entire south India for 450 year hE is an ANDHRA………
Know the history and then talk buddy….. ANDHRA has their seperate status and they cannt be under any other influences……..
October 31, 2011 at 7:50 am
A person of one culture always speaks in favour of his culture.even the experienced linguists couldn’t say which is older even after years of research and you declare your language as older in just half a page of this website.old kannada doesn’t mean,’your language’ script.it was just named to identify the common script used for languages like carnatic music doesn’t mean music of ‘your state’ or ‘your area’.in fact telugu belongs to central dravidian whereas your language belongs to some other language group consisting of tamil,malayalam,your language.its just the similarity in script and not in any other aspect.so,never ever compare your language with other language groups.

if you people still fight in favour of your language and the above paragraph is not sufficient for you to become educated,i’ll educate you more…..tamil people are far better than you language bigots.though their language is the oldest,they accepted the sweetness,richness of telugu.also accepted some telugu words into their language and also respect telugu culture.preserved the work of ‘Tyagaraja’ written in telugu.hats off to Tamils. 🙂 Leave your argument to committed linguists.who are you to decide which one of the languages among telugu and your language are older?
April 19, 2013 at 6:52 pm
this is called sponging up bigger tamil.., no offence tamils are all machas
November 16, 2011 at 4:31 am
Tamil is Ancient and older than any..
November 16, 2011 at 4:32 am
I am a Kannadiga,, but i believe Tamil is older than Sanskrit, Kannada & Telugu…
November 24, 2011 at 7:16 pm
I am Tamil I believe that Kannada is also older same as like Tamil. If you want just look some shelashasans of 1st and 2nd century in Tamil nadu there is lot of Kannada words influenced Tamil
November 18, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Where did you get this chart from???
December 1, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Hey Folks… just stop your arguments on any language and its origin… Being human … we need some means of communication…hence is language (the sounds from mouth) a means which can be understood by others.. so that they can respond to you talks… that’s it. What is the problem if one language has a script derived first but the other later… nothing matters…. C Language is first than JAVA.. But JAVA rocks… this is just to communicate with machines…..

Its sooo soo obvious that kannada is 3rd oldest lang in india,
1st Literature work in telagu was of Annamaya in 13th century
And 1st literature work in kannada is of Amoghovarsha in 4th century.
@ Telagu friends Keep watching movies ur best at thth
May 21, 2012 at 11:55 am
records show 6th century, dont mention 13th and more. Ok agree kannad is old script and telugu formed sometime after that. cool.
Just like homo sapiens are old and after some time modern man came. lol
September 27, 2012 at 2:52 pm

Hello Every one. Languages are meant for evolution over a period of time for the sake of easy and better way of communication. See the language Telugu is becoming more and more difficult to understand if you put three pleople from three different areas of andhra, telagana and rayalaseema. I don’t surprise if they become new languages in coming centuries though the script may be same or if they start invent new script which is more suitable. Old is gone and then why should we fight who is great. If you are fighting for language then it means a curse not a blessing. I used to think who is great and which language is great. Eventually, I came to a conclusion that we are all from one acesstor (must be having one language for communication) after looking into available sources and evidences. One such evidence I found in the Bible Genesis Chapter 11. The Almighty god confused the original laguage so people can scatter all over the world. So, I consider it is a curse upon us. The more we think about who is great or which language is great the more you fight with each other which is a curse. It is understandable that all of us would like to know who is our acestor? How did we come to the current position? and What will happen tomorrow and how to make it better? We have to do it in peace but not with fighting. Preserve your values and morales you have got from your acestor as much as you could and pass it to the next generation. As for me I am looking forward to see a world with one government and one language and every one living in peace.

Thats meaninfull comment.Sure , things keeps moving in that direction in spite of the above mini momemtary fights.
February 15, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Really we are crazy, why i came here, as i couldnot digest kannada which is very closer to telugu, telugu always seems tobe the mother of kannada as it is more polished and sweet.
February 15, 2012 at 11:54 pm
its only your imagination but proof says that kannada is mother of telagu.why not please check you telagu poets nannay and srinathadu poems it says we are from karnataka and most of theirs words are kannada.please dont spoil one big heritage if you dont agree.leave telagy people out of world and stay only in andra its better to know your telgu values.you are alwayes depending on others.you dont have any thing to do just your survyining because of others.

Ancient history
Main article: Ancient history of South India
Further information: Tamil Sangams and Sangam literature
Evidence in the forms of documents and inscriptions do not appear often in the history of ancient South India. Although there are signs that the history dates back to several centuries BCE, we only have any authentic archeological evidence from the early centuries of the common era. The Kingdom of Pratipalapura (5th century BCE), identified with Bhattiprolu, in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh appears to be the earliest known kingdom in South India. We also have an inscriptional evidence to show that king Kubera was ruling over Bhattiprolu around 230 BC followed by Sala Kings. The script of Bhattiprolu inscriptions was the progentor of Brahmi Lipi that diversified later into modern Telugu and Tamil scripts.[citation needed]
During the reign of Ashoka (304–232 BCE) the three Tamil dynasties of Chola, Chera and Pandya were running in the south, probably with late megalithic phase material culture. These areas (known as Tamilakam- “Land of Tamils”), while not part of Ashoka’s empire, were in friendly terms with the Maurya Empire.
The Sâtavâhana Empire started out as feudatories to the Mauryan Empire but declared independence soon after the death of Ashoka (232 BC). They were the first Indic rulers to issue coins struck with their rulers embossed and are known for their patronage of Buddhism resulting in Buddhist monuments from Ellora to Amaravati. They formed a cultural bridge and played a vital role in trade and the transfer of ideas and culture to and from the Gangetic plains to the southern tip of India.
The Satavahanas had to compete with the Sunga and the Kanva dynasty of the Mauryan Empire to establish first their independence then to expand their rule. Later they had to contend in protecting their domain from the incursions of Sakas, Yavanas and Pahlavas. In particular their struggles with the Western Kshatrapas weakened them and the kingdom split into smaller states…………
where ever the kingdom starts the civilization starts from their first know this point and dont be blind use your brains…..
so my dear friends know the history first and then speak out….
so finally it can be decided that kannadigans r survying on behalf of ANDHRA’S……

Guys read Tamilu talegala naduve by Dr.BGL Swamy(Former botany department head in Precidency college Madras). In his book, he has proved the so called Sangam literature, silappadikaram and all old tamil literature itself is myth. There is haLegannada or old kannada in Thirukurral itself.
Kannada inscription has been found in Brahmagiri archelogical site dating 2nd century BC of King Ashoka era. Forget Telugu, even kannada is the oldest among dravidian languages.
Telugu people, pls talk with proofs. Show me one telugu inscription dating before Brahmagiri inscriptions dating 2nd century BC.

Hi friends, First of all be proud to be an INDIAN…
According to research it is already proved that TELUGU is older than KANNADA.
TAMIL is earlier to both these…
No need to quarrel about this…
I am from pune, worked in hyderabad and bangalore. I observed the almost same cultures here and there.
April 19, 2013 at 6:42 pm
RAjan mama’s boy.., do ur research again and shit comments like these
May 5, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Hi Rajan,
In the name of being proud Indian, do not try to sneak in your lies. For you people, research means , your fanatical claims that , tamil is the oldest language India. If you study with an open mind, you will realise that, Kannada is older than tamil. Just an example, The tamil sangam literature itself has the word ” Kannadigar” ( Meaning Kannadigas).
Do not try to impose your mistaken belief and say no fight.
There is a proverb in China, which says ” If you keep on repeating a lie , over time , it becomes truth”
tamils are brilliantly making use this proverb, and keep fanatically repeating the lie that, ” tamil is the oldest language in India”
Infact tamil even claim that , it is the oldest langauge in the world. Any proof or supporting material seems to be not absolutely not neccessary.

We don’t need your explanation brother..Don’t talk nasty on Tamil..We are not fools…It’s like insulting your mother…How will you feel if i speak nasty on Kannada language..Respect the language….
October 5, 2015 at 10:57 pm
The term Kaar nadu is used in Tamil Sangam period’ literatures which do not have any parallel in other languages in India,esp. south India. If you have this word described in Tamil literature in Sangam period – it add proof that Kannada originated from Proto-Tamil root.
One simple test for, laymen test, those who think Kannada is old. Try to look at your grammar and compare it with Sanskrit and Tamil grammar. Then you will understand if Kannada is old as you think.
Next try to stop using words that is either Tamil or Sanskrit origin. Both these languages have written record for claiming the older origin.
The debate should be between Tamil Vs sanskrit..Don’t get jealous, Tamil is the oldest language…
October 5, 2015 at 11:00 pm
Sir this is not a political debate and no one care what you/ I like or feel. If you do not have proof from literature or archeology or history. Kannada basically do not have any proof, whatsoever, and so you cannot keep claiming with no proof. Just Kannada politicians claim it – probably those who claim to be so should probably spend time to find proof. But in contrary Tamil have proof in literature, archeology and history. So there is no point in comparing. Tamil language has all the proof.

Dear rajan. I think u r a tamil n derfore u r trying to create dfferences between Kannada n Telugu people…no doubt dts
wt every Tamil does….I am a true Kannadiga n I have been
reading sources about Dravidian languages n Der origin n development since past few years…
I claim that both Kannada n Tamil belong to a family proto southern Dravidian lanuages where as Telugu belongs to proto south central Dravidian languages.
Tamil n kannada are equally old were used as a common language with lil deviations n dominancies varying from one region to other.Later they separated apart n developed as independent languages with huge influence of Sanskrit in Kannada n a lil notifiable influence in Tamil as well.
Both kannada n Telugu owe their scriptural origin to Ancient old Kannada / Halegannada which in turn was derived from kadamba script. Note that kadambas were one of the most powerful Kannada kingdoms of south India.So in this way Telugu script originated from old Kannada script.
Pls note that old Kannada is the oldest script in India among all present day living languages as tami script existed from 9th centry in comparision to Kannada whose 1st inscription is Halmidi of 4th century….
I think u guys r educated n civilised enough n if u don’t believe in my post you ppl can visit website of ASI archaeological survey of India, Dept. of culture ,Govt. of India. Also visit Wikipedia n refer Dravidian languages origin n development chart.

Hey, Bhuvanagiri k .s,
U , yourself read it properly and carefully,
The discovery of Bhattiprolu inscription just supports the generally accepted theory that, all Indian scripts developed from Brahmi script.
First understand what is written in a website and than post it.

U telagu stupids keep quit………..kannada got 8 jnanapith award ..telagu got only 2 ..becoz of its old sahitya and culture.than tell which is old …kannada is widely spoken in ananthapur and karnool district…if u go to kerala kasargod is full of kannada with name boards and 80% peoples are kannadigas…if u go to tamilnadu ..niligiri district peoples talking old kannada by using tamil script and also in sathyamangala and erode district also so many villages kannada major today also…if u go to maharashtra sollapur and sangli should be a part of karnataka there kannada peoples are majority…in A.P 70% urdu and 30% telagu thats y urdu is official luanguage…but in karnataka kannada is one and only official luanguge…..regarding krishnadevaraya he want to rule some places of telagu area that was the reason he told telagu is gud luanguage but not older and better than kannada…karnataka having gud GDP compare to A.p and u telagu peoples first stop ur war for separate state…we kannadigas are in unity…tel now…first u go and see one telagu movie and sleep…u peoples are suitable for only to see movies…
September 29, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Hello Kiran,
Being a kannada person one should not use foul language at others. It will reflects you. As a matter of fact of Urdu is not official language of AP. Telugu is 1st official language and Urdu is considered 2nd official language where Islamic population is living. You’re discussed about other parameters was certainly diverted the fact. As per Kannada and Telugu history, both born on same time. In this no argument. If you need about it, kindly refer history. Don’t be rude to know the point or discussing with about it. One shouldn’t be blame himself at others when discussion is going on. If you knew it clearly and confidently rise the point.

Nonsense kannda assholes… how many times to tell you people, Still come and say bullshit. Fuck you all if you say anything bad about telugu. we will ruin the kannda language. first try to save your language by not getting influenced by Telugu or Tamil. To tell you frankly how many people speak kannda now. Here you are coming and fighting for Kannada. You go and see your asses first. Thera re are more tahn 40 % of telugu people in entire karnataka. look at the census and talk. they speak telugu at home even i enquired many of them who are my colleagues and friends.It means there is only half kannda language in Karnataka. It is due to YS Rajashekar reddy you people got classical status. else it wont be given also. Many of you people as Ministers in Central govt because of YS Rajashekar reddy. We can even grab your politics also and become political leaders also. How many kannda MLAs are there. Tell us truth !!. You fools with foolish and inferiority complex!! mindsets.
I stayed in Bangalore for 5 years. i always felt kannadigas as my brothers with unbelievable support and help. recently you people are becoming language idiots like tamils. they are also like you people. They also have lot of inferiority complex of their language. thats why they have not allowed Hindi into their state. if you have love towards your language educate few kanndigas and let them know and educate your children and make them as Kannda pandits!!
Telugu is much much influenced by Sanskrit where as Kannada was derived and followed the entire structure and grammatical path from telugu. telugu was borned in BC times. enough artifacts are there from us. You people have some inferiority complex in mindsets. Thats why you people behave like this.
About telugu we have our own literary history during BC times whether you believe or not. I am sure you assholes wont believe it as you are seeing only onside. During BC times only it was found in Tungabdara river premises. there is lot of history on it.

Hi Sundar,
Keep your all holes shut, we are not like shameless Kannadigas to take your words. Tirupathi was not yours and to give. It will never be yours.
So as i said earlier keep your all fucking holes shut.
September 16, 2015 at 1:42 pm
Dai, Tirupathi belongs to Tamil…No more argument….Check google or wiki or any source..
May 10, 2012 at 11:33 am
Krishna devarayas statue in tirupathi below that its been written in kannada.If he was a telugu why has it been written in kannada. This shows he was a kannadiga but promoted telugu languauge not bcose of 1 statemnet made by krsnadevaraya u cant tell him he was a telugu
September 29, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Narasimha, Kannada was one of languages recognized during Vijayanaga empire/dynasity. Don’t frustrate. Why can’t telugu people praise kannada people? Do you know Mokshagundam Vishwesvarayya is a Ongole district person. He contributed towards several dams across India and Mandya,Karntaka. Can’t appreciate a person as humanitarian ground?
Try to accept facts.
May 10, 2012 at 12:00 pm
His religious beliefs: Krishnadevaraya patronized all religious sects and was a devotee of Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati and even now we can see the images of Krishnadevaraya along with his two queens standing with folded hands in the Tirupati temple. The images have their names written in Kannada. Vallabhacharya and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the renowned saints of the bhakti movement visited his court. Krishnadevaraya honoured the former by performing Kanakabhisheka (showering gold coins on him). Krishnadevaraya held the Madhwa saint Vyasatirtha in much reverence and had left his throne vacant for the saint to occupy for some time. Krishnadevaraya expanded the temple of Ramaswamy at Vijayanagara and added a kalyanamantapa and tower to the temple of Virupaksha. He also constructed the Krishnaswamy and Vithalaswamy temples in the imperial capital.

fuck off !!! you try to speak with Kannda with your kannda friends. then speak about language. why 2000 years only for Kannda, then it is not old language as people are there from Saptha rishi period which is before sathya ugam period. that time also kannda should be there to give classical status. Nonsense people with inferiority complex mindsets!!!

I laugh at the ignorance of the people, who jump to put their mouth to work than brain. If a Language is derived from an Older language it is a derived language and it will never be the same as the earlier language. just by showing some words of a language in age old scripts does not prove a current language is an old. English adopted many Indian works such as Guru. Now situation looks like some 300 – 400 years in future they show guru words in the inscriptions and claim English as an ancient language. Both Kannada and Telugu have words from Sanskrit. Its like Two non identical twins one claiming it self as the mother as it resembles more like mother.

One thing I would say karnataka is the best place to live. You can see all types of people staying and levaing here.Such friendly people are kannadigas. But you cannot see such a enviornment in Andhra or TN.Where They always expect to speak in telugu or tamil..I bet, Nobody can deny that.I can give stats, Kannidgas are the best, live example is bengaluru, where we can all see all types of people.Its not possible in hydrabad or madras. I know if argue with telugites, they will come again to movies, Movies is not only in the world. kannada literature has prominent value in india, One great reason is kannada literature got 8 Jnana Peetha awards. Nobody can deny on this. Kannada is the best langauge as complete. What ever we speaks, same way we can write. As I know its possible for kannada language. I dont think its possible in telugu, because I know both the language. Who ever accept or not, Kannada came first later telugu. For more details, please visit Hampi(old krishnadevarya Samsthana), they have proof for that.
Thanks

Kannada lovda ka balls..Now every where it is english. With out english india can’t survive as the major cities all are being grown on their peaks because of outsourcing companies and soft ware companies 67% from the U.S, 13% from U.K, 10% from the rest.(because of those cities the revenue..or income 45% to 55% to their states) especially Hyderabad and Bangalore. Even real estate survives 80% because of these job holders. By the way modern telugu is the language which is very familiar to the people as they can speak 50% in karnataka. Telugu people don’t know the language kannada even a little in any area hardly 10% at borders, but telugu films are the films making big collections these days in karnataka as telugu industry(TW) is the biggest, well known in india next to bollywood. Even they left “Madaras” they made HYDERABAD city Which is known for its IT, pearls business, Bio technology, etc.. Reached as the Fourth populous city in india in a short span of time. Chennai is at 6th. People say Bangalore the silicon valley..of india where u the people have no IMAX..Sure it is the cheap and best of all the A1 cities in india. Telugu people die for development. Even bangalore’s real estate is being rocked by Telugu people. Telugu people are like Americans in india. Hyderabad has sikh village, Tamil streets, Agarwals, sindhis. etc by far wen hyderabad city was going modern in 1960’s bangalore just after 1990’s because of IT. These days in bangalore we here hindi before that nothing. Only because of telangana issue hyderabad’s development is stoped. before 5 years bangalore is nothing to compare with hyderabad as it was being grown in all the aspects Every body knows hyd dominated bangalore’s It for 3 years IT sector. Sure if hyd’s development stops! option is bangalore..to every body, as others can’t stay in chenni. if u ask any north indian where do u like to stay among these cities Muje hyd coffee lug tha hain. because of hindi and the culture familiar to their’s.

Telugu people don’t know the language kannada even a little in any area hardly 10% at borders, but telugu films are the films making big collections these days in karnataka as telugu industry(TW) is the biggest, well known in india next to bollywood. Even they left “Madaras” they made HYDERABAD city Which is known for its IT, pearls business, Bio technology, etc.. Reached as the Fourth populous city in india in a short span of time. Chennai is at 6th. People say Bangalore the silicon valley..of india where u the people have no IMAX..Sure it is the cheap and best of all the A1 cities in india. Telugu people die for development. Even bangalore’s real estate is being rocked by Telugu people. Telugu people are like Americans in india.

Kannada nearly 2500yrs old language and stands in 3rd spot out of 1736 Indian languages
after Sanskrit and Tamil

The chart below outlines the descent of various Indic scripts from the braahmee.
Cautionary Note: The figure indicates the most probable routes for the evolution of modern scripts. Care must be taken in reading these routes. For example, Telugu script has been shown as a descendent of “old Kannada” script. It does not in any way mean that the language (as opposed to the script) has descended from Kannada. Kannada became a literate language slightly ahead of Telugu. For example, both Kannada and Telugu had produced poetry during the eighth century. Kannada writers had also produced full-fledged literary works in the ninth century. But it was two more centuries before major poetic works in Telugu became available. That is the reason for the combined Telugu-Kannada script to have been called as the “old Kannada.” This in turn does not mean that Telugu people were non-literate during the periods when Kannada and Tamil people were producing works of literature. Writers in Telugu land had been continuously engaged in creating literary, religious or philosophical works in Prakrit and Sanskrit from long before Christ. While the Tamil and Kannada writers had switched to writing in their local languages in the first century CE and the eighth century CE respectively, Telugu writers waited till the 11th century. The major reasons for this state of affairs include socio-political factors such as royal patronage and the influence of Buddhism and Jainism, among other things.

I am a Telugu, Who accept after Tamil, Kannada; Telugu emerged in the Dravidian Languages. What is the matter of fault in being younger and What is being superior being Older. There are more Civilizations which woke up before Harappa and Mohanjudaro. That does not mean they are all above us.
We Indians are so low minded that we cannot even respect our brothers. We are too inferior that we want to hide it and fool ourselves acting superior. This discussion board is the witness for this.
We are too low in Cultural tolerance, We admit and follow the Western Culture but We cannot give respect for the brotheren cultures penetrated together in this Soil more than 1500 years.
Every Kannadiga and Andhrudu talking here knows both the cultures are co-existing in this Region since thousands of years. We know The Great Kannada King Krishnadevaraya ruled Andhra also. And He is so much fascinated with the beauty of Telugu language, His court is full of Telugu poets and Artistes. Such a great man which low ego and great respect for brotheren culture.
Rather barking blindly for unknown reasons, I hope you can look in to the reality and respect history and each others in Country.

Being a Karnataka citizen i know the Telugu is most widely spoken language in Andhra/Karnataka/tamilnadu/orissa/ maharastra and it is 3rd biggest language in india 3 states were ruled by Telugu cm @ the time of independence the modern states were drawn only after independence. kolar/bangalore/bellary districts etc was Telugu base lands ya being civilians we have to give respect to all languages & religions may because of the region wise minds helped British & Muslim invaders fucked all Indians still we fight for regionalism….In a first step govt of India should break all the states based on language & organised based on economic condition to develop the nation etc nobody is stupid no body is superior u people need not dig on the languages if u watch closely the real mother tongues of politicians / film stars of several states u will get lot of surprise…. do survey & see

kannada has 10 Jnanapeetha awardees.we salute them.all these awards are instituted after 1950’s.why we do not hear anything about kannada ancient poets and why there are no pravachanas or discussions about them either in school levl or in media like telugu in TTd or Bhakthi tv channels. Even in scool level The books talk of Jnanapeetha awardees only.I studied in Bellary during the period of Composit Madras state.We used to have moral education class once in a week.we have heard about ancient poets of all languages.we have heard of Ranna,Onna,Jonna and Pampa and their works little.Even in Sankara channel We never hear about them.Maximum we see Dasa vani.We wish the above commentators of Kannada will throw some light on it without making any redicule about my write-up.

can you people just remember ,firstly we are indians after that our proud languages telugu or kannada or tamil or hindi
July 23, 2014 at 12:49 pm
Kannada and Telugu are sister languages.
Kannada King Krishnadevaraya(KDR) told – ‘Telugu thetha, Kannada kasturi…..(something about tamil too)’
Which means, telugu is simple and clear, Kannada is pure and fragrant……
KDR is not just andra bhoja, he is Kannada rajya rama ramana.
Telugu poet Shrinatha told – ‘Kannada Rajyalakshmi daya leda?’, Kannada talli is treating telugu children like her own.
On the older version, according to the proofs and inscriptions found, Kannada is older (Halmidi shasana). But both languages are almost equally old.
History and facts should be kept as facts. Please do not spoil wiki pages updating your own versions!
July 2, 2016 at 3:12 pm
Nice post Kiran, I completely agree! your Kannada brothers are with you!
May 22, 2015 at 1:24 pm
we kannadigas agree that we have come from sanskrit language and tamil language but why can’t you agree your language has come from our language. And you stupid telugu people we have more evidence that our language came first. But what do you have
July 20, 2015 at 6:44 pm
Kannada is the oldest language and you get lot of proof that kannada is a rich language because if you see kadamas dynasity, kannadigas was ruling upto gujarat to some parts of Tamil nadu. main thing is we can right any world language in kannada but in other language that flexibility is not there. kannada has more number of acsent where other language doesnt have. we had purandaradasa, kanakadasa, pampa, ranna, basavanna, sarvagna etc
August 4, 2015 at 12:33 am
Is Kannada older than Telugu?
Short answer. Yes, but not entirely. Long answer: Let us keep in mind two facts before we proceed. * There was no clear distinction between languages in ancient times and language development is a continuous process. The exact date in which one languag…
November 10, 2015 at 7:32 am
Telugu is more efficient language than Kannada.in fact,sri lrishnadevaraya kingdoms language is Telugu.
we Telugu people(andhra desam) have greatest kingdoms like satavahanas,ikshavakas,vishnukundalas,kakatiyas,vijayanagara.
finally Telugu is Telugu is most beautiful musical language.Telugu is not younger than Kannada.at that time due to influence of Buddhism on Telugu people it took centuries to produce literature.
Telugu is called “Italian of the east”
November 28, 2015 at 11:40 pm
See ,taunting each others is waste of time….first know about the origin!!!Telugu has similar scripts like Kannada ,so one thing which could be concluded with less efforts is Telugu is the extension of Kannada language !!and u Telugu people this is a bad news for you !!accept the fact 🙂
November 28, 2015 at 11:42 pm
And more over Kannada sounds beautiful than Telugu … That is not than enough to decide the real winner!!;)

July 2, 2016 at 3:07 pm
It always rules Andhra, Sri Krishnadevaraya rules all Andhra, Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu. He described his rule that Telugus and Kannadigas are two eyes. For all those who want to see Telugu and Kannada Fight poke your one eye to know what it means!
December 3, 2015 at 10:54 pm
First of all,we are all indians.Now the question of older heritage makes sense if either any of propositions proven to be true makes the current population feel proud about themselves and feel superior to any other sects.I dont think it genuinely happens in any case.I do believe the language you speak does influence you but it is relative.Sanskrit irrespective of whether it is older or not is language best suited than any other for study of mind.In future,ALL of them will be speaking english along with irreplacable sanskrit words.THIS IS THE FUTURE.So stop acting like kids.
January 22, 2016 at 9:31 pm
If Tamil and kannada share a common ancestor, why does current day Kannada is much more inclined towards Telugu?
I don’t think Kannada is inclined towards Telugu but it’s other way around. Because Kannada is oldest language when compared to Telugu, and most of the words which are there in Telugu are derived from Kannada. Please go through this link https://coff…
July 2, 2016 at 3:03 pm
Kannada and Telugu are SIMPLY TWINS! Both call themselves different from the outside though the look and feel the same, but their parents know they are the same!

telugu is much sweeter to the ears than kannada or tamil. Im not going to bother if telugu came from kannada or whatever. Infact human beings came from monkeys, does that make monkeys superior? No right.. Same can be said about kannada. dont ever try to impose ur language superiority on telugus.. your movies suck, food sucks.. do something about that.
November 9, 2016 at 11:48 am
Also Telugu’s are more successful as a group than kannadigas.. I guess this is the reason kamnadigas try to tell Kannada is older to Telugu. This way they want to feel better. forget about same kingdoms and rules. And speak truth only. Telugu’s ruled kannadigas n not the other way round.
March 6, 2018 at 1:18 pm
Lol kannadigas ruled telugus for centuries. Name a Telugu king who ruled Karnataka. Now go watch movies.
March 6, 2018 at 4:24 pm
Don’t live in the delusion of your movies. Come to the reality and study history. Many kannada kingdoms continuously ruled your shitty Andhra for centuries, while not a single Telugu king could come and rule Karnataka. What are the achievement of telugites other than film industry ?? Just curious as I know it would very very less
November 13, 2016 at 12:27 pm
Kannada is first and best more than telugu
February 21, 2017 at 11:27 am
When kannada 1st poet pampa & his father who were from AP & whose mother tongue was telugu & who excelled in telugu language, how can it be concluded kannada was older than telugu. Besides, why telugu scores , reasons as below:
Interesting Facts of Telugu Language
1. Telugu Language known to exist since the Time period 400 BCE.
2. In 2012 Telugu has been voted as the 2nd best script in the world by International Alphabet Association, Korean ranks no 1.

4. An ethnic group from Sri Lanka called Sri Lankan Gypsy people mostly speak Telugu.
5. There are many many Telugu communities in Myanmar Just do a Google Search.
6. In 16th century an Italian Explorer Niccolò de’ Conti found that the words in Telugu language end with vowels, just like those in Italian, and hence referred it as “The Italian of the East”.
7. Telugu ranks 3rd by the number of native speakers in India (75 million people), and 15th in the Ethnologue list of most-spoken languages worldwide.
8. Telugu derived from trilinga, as in Trilinga Desa, “the country of the three lingas”. According to a Hindu legend, Shiva descended as a linga on three mountains: Kaleswaram in Naizam, Srisailam in Rayalaseema and Bhimeswaram in Kostha;
9. Telugu is the only language in the Eastern world, that has every single word ending with a vowel sound.

12. Rabindranath Tagore is said to have stated that Telugu is the sweetest of all Indian Languages.
13. About 200 Years ago about 400 people Telugu speaking people were taken to Mauritius for slavery now Prime Minister is one of their descendant.
14. A Palindrome of 40 slokas which when read from start to end is Ramayana and end to start Mahabharata, there is no other Language like this.
15. Sri Krishnadevaraya visited his temple in Srikakulam and paid homage to the deity. It was here that Krishnadevaraya wrote the literary classic, Amuktamalyada at the order of the Lord Andhra Vishnu who had said “Des Bhashalandu Telugu Lessa” (Telugu is the greatest among the state’s languages”) and ordered Sri Krishnadevaraya to adopt Telugu as the official language of his province.
16. We have a single lettered poem in Telugu also called ekashara padhyamul

Yesterday, while boarding a bus from Bengaluru I was enquiring for the bus arrival. I came across KSRTC bus conductors who really helped me a lot in finding the bus. When I came across an APSRTC bus conductor I enquired him in Kannada for further clarification.He not even replied and behaved very rudely asking me to speak in Telugu or otherwise get lost. I felt very helpless and took a corner of the bus stand and thinking that it’s unfair, we Kannadigas learn all possible languages and when we try to converse in Kannada we just get inreturn is insult and rudeness, even in our own state. Person reading this please we must stand against this and really need a revolution. Kannada must get respect not only in Karnataka but all over the world. Let’s stand together and do something. Tell me are you guys with me.
May 28, 2018 at 11:36 pm
this is so wrong on so many levels. twisting the facts…. kannada, tamil, Malayalam are south Dravidian languages and telugu itself is only south central Dravidian language. infact telugus are the first civilization in Dravidian region across Godavari river. I agree however that now spoken telugu is not even close to the telugu spoken in 400 bce. so much is lost but our language got rejuvenated by a foreigner’s love of language who is Charles philippe brown. his dictionary of English to telugu and lot of manuscripts are still sold in markets. don’t club us with your kannada, tamil languages. we are completely different. infact telugu is the only language where every word ends with a vowel which none of your languages have
October 5, 2018 at 4:11 pm
If AP and Telangana people are smart and high IQ level. Better contribute to improve your cities. In terms of culture, employment and good environment. Like you believe to have best film industry. Then world will turn to you. Everyone will appreciate. Concentrate on development of your home towns instead of concentrating how acquire developed cities.

Telugu is an independent language. However the unbroken history of language is with Kannada. The oldest scripts of Telugu are date much later (250 yrs) that of kannada. There was no literature , kirthanas available in Telugu until annamayya was born. Even in tirupathi pooja, keerthana was going on in Sanskrit , Tamil and kannada.
Buddisim has thrown native Telugu.
When they realized they started going back to roots. They had to borrow scripts from kannada, changed styles and stared using it. Even today the original kannada or modern kannada literals are found in Telugu which are considered as classic.
Even today majority of Telugu is influenced by Mughals and if they want to find suitable words, they have to open kannada dictionary only.

Northern Indians and Southern Indians hate Sri Lankans because they attack Tamils. Northern Indian MPs hate Malaysian/Singaporean Tamils while Southern Indian MPs hate Malaysia/Singapore because they have a rivalry over Johor MRT which caters Singaporeans who enter in Malaysia. Johor is full of Chinese, Malays, Eurasians, Indians and the whole of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei which has a maritime border with Malacca where Singapore is centered. Northern and Southern Indians hate each other because Bollywood actors from Northern India and Southern India and Central India, Eastern, Western India, Northeast India hate Tamils living in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore. Tamil Ministers say Kashmiris, etc. are aliens in Sri Lanka. Cricketers in Malaysia of Tamil descent say Meiteis are K-Pop lookalikes. Malaysian Tamil and Singaporean Tamil teenagers hate Malayalam, etc. because Malayalam and other Indian languages and tribes are always on a rivalry. Sri Lankan Ministers hate Kashmiris, etc. and Malaysian/Singaporean Tamils love Kpop, Jpop because it’s amusing compared to Carnatic music.
