Rationatist, you should get Nobel price for litrature for your great saying "Tamil have poorer scipt than Kannada".
First look at your script which shares from Telugu, But Tamil has independent script.
And Tamil has lot more quality and also the mother language of all Dravidian languages including Kannada, thats why it is recoganized as Classical Language.
You know one thing, Kannada has 40% of pure Tamil word, thats why we are telling it is derived from Tamil. Like that all Dravidian languages has some percentages of pure ancient Tamil words. Even the word 'Karnataka' is derived from the Tamil word "Karu Naadu Agam".
Even Tamil has own numbers from which only the Indo-arbic numbers have been derived.
