Root of Kannada....
by tk on Feb 23, 2007 12:20 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

This posting is only to Kannada Chauvanist and who abuse Tamils. My intention is not to blame entire Kannadigas and Karnataka.





In this forum, few Kannadigas claim that Kannada and Tamil are derived from Proto-Dravidian Language and Kannada is not derived from Tamil.



From their words itself, I would like to give some proof for 'Kannada is derived from Tamil only'.



Objective: Kannda is derived from Tamil.





Proof and Explanation:



Meaning of the word 'Dravida' : This Sanskrit word is believed to be an equivalent of Prakrit form of the word in Tamil



Transformation of word Tamil to Dravida:



Tamil to Prakrit Language:

Thamizha(Tamilian) -> Damila -> Damida



Prakrit to Sanskrit Language

Damida -> Dramida -> Dravida



For proof please refer to the following link:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravida





Conclusion:



According to the above fact Dravida is Tamil and Tamil is Dravida.



So, Kannada is derived from Proto-Dravidian Language, i.e Proto-Tamilian Language, i.e Tamil Language.



So the root of 'Kannada' is 'Tamil'.

These crooked and cunning and fanatics will also claim that Sanskrit is derived fro Tamil and hence all indians are tamilians.With the same logic, they are fighting Cauvery water. Poor Kannadigas built the Dam and saved water. Now don't even have sufficient water for drinking, these beggers want water for growing three crops in a year. Shame on these animals.
