Root of Kannada...

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'.

I believe Tamil is the newest language picked from Malayalam a bit from Kannada and from Telugu. There is no basic words in Tamil like Pen ,Apple etc (they call PENA,APPIL) it is just a wrong pronunciation of English. Tamils don%u2019t know to pronounce the basic words, here is the list of works they kill
1. Mahatma Gandi %u2013 MAGATMA Gandi (Tamils don%u2019t even know to pronounce name of father of our nation)
2. Sneha/Regaman %u2013 SNEGA/ REHAMAN
3. Yamaha %u2013 YEMAGA
4. Chattny/Chapati/poori %u2013 SATNI/SAPATI/BOORI
5. Program %u2013 BROGRAM.
There are lot many words where Tamils can%u2019t pronounce then how it can be oldest language. Tamils are good in fighting(like street dogs) that%u2019s the reason others give up the agreeing saying let the dog bark.

Mr. 'On',
Dont argue without analysing. Tamil is one of the oldest living language in the world and thats it doesn't consist of complicated verbal expressions like ha, ksha etc. You should understand that the languages evolved earlier have simple vocabulary than the lan evolved latter and not the other way. Do some linguistics.
The antiquity of Tamil is well recorded with its longest surviving literature in the world and in fact all the south Indian tongues are derived from this language.
