Karnataka has been named by the Tamil

Though several etymologies have been suggested for the name Karnataka, the generally accepted one is that Karnataka is derived from the Kannada words karu and n%u0101du, meaning elevated land. Karu nadu may also be read as Karu (black) and nadu (region), as a reference to the black cotton soil found in the Bayaluseeme region of Karnataka.
My question to Tamil/kanadigas- when did the two people sperate from each other?
I was told that Malayalam seperated from Tamil about 600 years ago? Any date when Kanada seperated from Tamil?
