Kannada is almost as old as Tamil, the truest of the Dravidian family.Dravidian language, the official language of the Indian state of Karnataka.
It is spoken by more than 33 million people in Karnataka; an additional 11 million Indians may speak it as a second language. The earliest inscriptional records in Kannada are from the 6th century. Kannada script is closely akin to Telugu script in origin. Like other major Dravidian languages, Kannada has a number of regional and social dialects and marked distinctions between formal and informal usage.
Kannada is a south Indian language spoken in Karnataka state of India.Kannada is originated from the Dravidian Language. Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam are the other South Indian Languages originated from Dravidian Language. Kannada and Telugu have almost the same script. Kannada as a language has undergone modifications since BCs.
It can be classified into four types:. Purva Halegannada (from the beginning till 10th Century). Halegannada (from 10th Century to 12th Century). Nadugannada (from 12th Century to 15th Century). Hosagannada (from 15th Century).
.Kannada (;: ) is a also known as Kanarese. It is spoken predominantly by in, mainly in the state of, and by significant linguistic minorities in the states of, and abroad. The language has roughly 43.7 million native speakers, who are called. Kannada is also spoken as a second and third language by over 12.9 million non-Kannada speakers living in, which adds up to 56.6 million speakers. It is one of the and the official and administrative language of the state of Karnataka.The Kannada language is written using the, which evolved from the 5th-century. Kannada is attested epigraphically for about one and a half millennia, and literary flourished in the 6th-century and during the 9th-century.
Kannada has an of over a thousand years. Kannada literature has been presented with 8, the most for any Dravidian language and the second highest for any Indian language.Based on the recommendations of the Committee of Linguistic Experts, appointed by the, the designated Kannada a. In July 2011, a center for the study of classical Kannada was established as part of the at to facilitate research related to the language. Contents.Development Kannada is a Southern, and according to Dravidian scholar Sanford B. Steever, its history can be conventionally divided into three periods: Old Kannada ( Halegannada) from 450–1200 CE, Middle Kannada ( Nadugannada) from 1200–1700, and Modern Kannada from 1700 to the present. Kannada is influenced to an appreciable extent by Sanskrit.
Influences of other languages such as and can also be found in the Kannada language. The scholar indicated that Kannada was already a language of rich oral tradition earlier than the 3rd century BCE, and based on the native Kannada words found in Prakrit inscriptions of that period, Kannada must have been spoken by a widespread and stable population. The scholar K. Narayana claims that many tribal languages which are now designated as Kannada dialects could be nearer to the earlier form of the language, with lesser influence from other languages. Sanskrit and Prakrit influence The sources of influence on literary Kannada grammar appear to be three-fold: 's grammar, non-Paninian schools of grammar, particularly Katantra and Sakatayana schools, and grammar. Literary Prakrit seems to have prevailed in Karnataka since ancient times.
The vernacular Prakrit speaking people may have come into contact with Kannada speakers, thus influencing their language, even before Kannada was used for administrative or liturgical purposes. Kannada phonetics, morphology, vocabulary, grammar and syntax show significant influence from these languages.Some naturalised ( ) words of Prakrit origin in Kannada are: baṇṇa (colour) derived from vaṇṇa, hunnime (full moon) from puṇṇivā. Examples of naturalized Sanskrit words in Kannada are: varṇa (colour), arasu (king) from rajan, paurṇimā, and rāya from rāja (king).Like the other Dravidian languages Kannada also has borrowed ( ) words such as dina (day), kopa (anger), surya (sun), mukha (face), nimiṣa (minute) and anna (rice). History Early traces. Kannada inscription dated 1654, at with exquisite reliefPurava HaleGannada: This Kannada term literally translated means 'Previous form of Old Kannada' was the language of in the early Common Era, the, (Naga) and periods and thus has a history of over 2500 years. The found at (dated to 230 BCE) has been suggested to contain words in identifiable Kannada. According to Jain tradition, Brahmi, the daughter of, the first Tirthankara of Jainism, invented 18 alphabets, including Kannada, which points to the antiquity of the language.
Supporting this tradition, an inscription of about the 9th century CE, containing specimens of different alphabets, mostly Dravidian, was discovered in a Jain temple in the Deogarh fort.In some 3rd–1st century BCE Tamil inscriptions, words of Kannada influence such as nalliyooraa, kavuDi and posil have been introduced. The use of the vowel a as an adjective is not prevalent in Tamil but its usage is available in Kannada. Kannada words such as gouDi-gavuDi transform into Tamil's kavuDi for lack of the usage of Ghosha svana in Tamil. Hence the Kannada word 'gavuDi' becomes 'kavuDi' in Tamil. 'Posil' ('hosilu') was introduced into Tamil from Kannada and colloquial Tamil uses this word as 'Vaayil'. In a 1st-century CE Tamil inscription, there is a personal reference to ayjayya, a word of Kannada origin. In a 3rd-century CE Tamil inscription there is usage of oppanappa vIran.
Here the honorific appa to a person's name is an influence from Kannada. Another word of Kannada origin is taayviru and is found in a 4th-century CE Tamil inscription. Settar studied the sittanvAsal inscription of first century CE as also the inscriptions at tirupparamkunram, adakala and neDanUpatti. The later inscriptions were studied in detail by Iravatham Mahadevan also. Mahadevan argues that the words erumi, kavuDi, poshil and tAyiyar have their origin in Kannada because Tamil cognates are not available. Settar adds the words nADu and iLayar to this list.
Mahadevan feels that some grammatical categories found in these inscriptions are also unique to Kannada rather than Tamil. Both these scholars attribute these influences to the movements and spread of Jainas in these regions. These inscriptions belong to the period between the first century BCE and fourth century CE. These are some examples that are proof of the early usage of a few Kannada origin words in early inscriptions before the common era and in the early centuries of the common era.Greek dramatists (480-406 BCE) and (446-386 BCE) of the 5th–4th century BCE were purportedly familiar with the Kannada country and language which can be concluded by the usage of Kannada words, phrases and expressions in their Greek plays along with Persian and Punic. This would show a far more intimate contact of the Greeks with Kannada culture than with Indian culture elsewhere.The Kannada word Ooralli ( lit it means 'in a village') is said to be written on a huge wall constructed in Alexandria in the 4th century BCE as part of the remnants of 36,000 palm manuscripts that had been burnt in an accidental fire in Alexander's time.
The palm manuscripts contained texts written not only in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, but also in Sanskrit and Kannada.In the 150 CE Prakrit book Gaathaa Saptashati, written by Haala Raja, Kannada words like tIr or Teer (meaning to be able), tuppa, peTTu, poTTu, poTTa, piTTu (meaning to strike), Pode (Hode) have been used. On the Pallava Prakrit inscription of 250 CE of Hire Hadagali's Shivaskandavarman, the Kannada word kOTe transforms into koTTa. In the 350 CE Chandravalli Prakrit inscription, words of Kannada origin like punaaTa, puNaDa have been used. In one more Prakrit inscription of 250 CE found in Malavalli, Kannada towns like vEgooraM ( bEgooru), kundamuchchaMDi find a reference.(23 – 79 CE) was a naval and army commander in the early Roman Empire. He writes about pirates between Muziris and Nitrias (Netravati River). He also mentions Barace (Barcelore). Nitrias of Pliny and Nitran of Ptolemy refer to the Netravati River as also the modern port city of, upon its mouth.
Many of these are Kannada origin names of places and rivers of the Karnataka coast of 1st century CE.The Greek geographer (150 CE) mentions places such as Badiamaioi (Badami), Inde (Indi), Kalligeris (Kalkeri), Modogoulla (Mudagal), Petrigala (Pattadakal), Hippokoura (Huvina Hipparagi), Nagarouris (Nagur), Tabaso (Tavasi), Tiripangalida (Gadahinglai), Soubouttou or Sabatha (Savadi), Banaouase (Banavasi), Thogorum (Tagara), Biathana (Paithan), Sirimalaga (Malkhed), Aloe (Ellapur) and Pasage (Palasige) indicating prosperous trade between Egypt, Europe and Karnataka. He also mentions Pounnata (Punnata) and refers to beryls, i.e., the Vaidhurya gems of that country. He mentions Malippala (Malpe), a coastal town of Karnataka. In this work Larika and Kandaloi are identified as Rastrika and Kuntala. Ptolemy writes that 'in the midst of the false mouth and the Barios, there is a city called Maganur' (Mangalore).
He mentions inland centres of pirates called Oloikhora (Alavakheda). He mentions Ariake Sadinon, meaning Aryaka Satakarni, and Baithana as the capital of Siro(e) P(t)olmaios, i.e., Sri Pulimayi, clearly indicating his knowledge of the Satavahana kings. The word Pulimayi means One with body of Tiger in Kannada, which bears testimony to the possible Kannada origin of Satavahana kings.A possibly more definite reference to Kannada is found in the ' ascribed to the late 1st to early 2nd century CE. The farce, written by an unknown author, is concerned with a Greek lady named Charition who has been stranded on the coast of a country bordering the Indian Ocean. The king of this region, and his countrymen, sometimes use their own language, and the sentences they speak could be interpreted as Kannada, including Koncha madhu patrakke haki ('Having poured a little wine into the cup separately') and paanam beretti katti madhuvam ber ettuvenu ('Having taken up the cup separately and having covered it, I shall take wine separately.' The language employed in the papyrus indicates that the play is set in one of the numerous small ports on the western coast of India, between and (presently in Kerala). The character of the king in this farce refers to himself as 'the Nayaka of Malpe (Malpi-naik)'.
Saletore identifies the site of this play as Odabhandeshwara or Vadabhandeshwara (ship-vessel-Ishwara or God), situated about a mile from Malpe, which was a Shaivite centre originally surrounded by a forest with a small river passing through it. He rejects M. Govinda Pai's opinion that it must have occurred at Udyavara (Odora in Greek), the capital of Alupas. Tsitsiridis mentions in his research work that Charition is not an exclusively prose or verse text, but a mixed form. The corrupt lines indicate that the text found at Oxyrhynchus (Egypt) has been copied, meaning that the original was even earlier in date.
Wilamowitz (1907) and Andreassi (2001) say that for more precise dating of the original, some place the composition of the work as early as in the Hellenistic period (332-30 BCE), others at a later date, up to the early 2nd century CE. Epigraphy The earliest examples of a full-length Kannada language stone inscription ( shilaashaasana) containing characters with characteristics attributed to those of in Hale Kannada ( lit Old Kannada) script can be found in the, usually dated c.
AD 450, indicating that Kannada had become an administrative language at that time. The Halmidi inscription provides invaluable information about the history and culture of Karnataka. The Kannada inscription excavated at the Pranaveshwara temple complex at Talagunda near Shiralakoppa in Shikaripur taluk of Shivamogga district, dated to 370 CE is said to be one of the earliest Kannada inscriptions replacing the Halmidi inscription of 450 CE. The 5th century Tamatekallu inscription of and the inscription of 500 AD are further examples. Recent reports indicate that the Nishadi inscription discovered on the Chandragiri hill, is older than Halmidi inscription by about fifty to hundred years and may belong to the period AD 350–400. The noted archaeologist and art historian S. Shettar is of the opinion that an inscription of the King Kongunivarma Madhava (c.
350–370) found at Tagarthi (Tyagarthi) in Shikaripura taluk of Shimoga district is of 350 CE and is also older than the Halmidi inscription.Current estimates of the total number of existing written in Kannada range from 25,000 by the scholar to over 30,000 by the Amaresh Datta of the. Prior to the Halmidi inscription, there is an abundance of inscriptions containing Kannada words, phrases and sentences, proving its antiquity. The 543 AD Badami cliff inscription of is an example of a Sanskrit inscription in old Kannada script.Kannada inscriptions are not only discovered in Karnataka but also quite commonly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Some inscriptions were also found in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The northernmost Kannada inscription of the Rashtrakutas of 964 CE is the Jura record found near Jabalpur in present-day Madhya Pradesh, belonging to the reign of Krishna III. This indicates the spread of the influence of the language over the ages, especially during the rule of large Kannada empires. Pyu sites of Myanmar yielded variety of Indian scripts including those written in a script especiallyarchaic, most resembling the Kadamba (Kannada-speaking Kadambas of 4th century CE Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh ) form of common Kannada-Telugu script from Andhra Pradesh.The earliest copper plates inscribed in Old Kannada script and language, dated to the early 8th century AD, are associated with King Aluvarasa II from Belmannu (the Dakshina Kannada district), and display the double crested fish, his royal emblem.
The oldest well-preserved palm leaf manuscript in Old Kannada is that of Dhavala. It dates to around the 9th century and is preserved in the Jain Bhandar, Mudbidri, district. The manuscript contains 1478 leaves written using ink. Coins Some early coins bearing the Kannada inscription Vira and Skandha were found in Satara collectorate. A gold coin bearing three inscriptions of Sri and an abbreviated inscription of king Bhagiratha's name called bhagi (c.
AD 390–420) in old Kannada exists. A Kadamba copper coin dated to the 5th century AD with the inscription Srimanaragi in Kannada script was discovered in Banavasi,. Coins with Kannada legends have been discovered spanning the rule of the, the Badami, the, the, the, the, the, the of Banavasi, the and the, the Badami Chalukya coins being a recent discovery.
The coins of the Kadambas of Goa are unique in that they have alternate inscription of the king's name in Kannada and Devanagari in triplicate, a few coins of the Kadambas of are also available. Literature. Main articles:, andThe oldest existing record of Kannada poetry in Tripadi metre is the record of AD 700.
By King Nripatunga I (AD 850) is the earliest existing literary work in Kannada. It is a writing on literary criticism and poetics meant to standardise various written Kannada dialects used in literature in previous centuries. The book makes reference to Kannada works by early writers such as King of the 6th century and Ravikirti, the author of the Aihole record of 636 AD. Since the earliest available Kannada work is one on grammar and a guide of sorts to unify existing variants of and literary styles, it can be safely assumed that literature in Kannada must have started several centuries earlier.
An early prose work, the Vaddaradhane (ವಡ್ಡಾರಾಧನೆ) by of AD 900 provides an elaborate description of the life of Bhadrabahu of.Kannada works from earlier centuries mentioned in the are not yet traced. Some ancient texts now considered extinct but referenced in later centuries are Prabhrita (AD 650) by Syamakundacharya, Chudamani (Crest Jewel—AD 650) by Srivaradhadeva, also known as Tumbuluracharya, which is a work of 96,000 verse-measures and a commentary on logic ( Tatwartha-mahashastra). Other sources date Chudamani to the 6th century or earlier. The Karnateshwara Katha, a eulogy for King, is said to have belonged to the 7th century; the Gajastaka, a work on elephant management by King, belonged to the 8th century, and the Chandraprabha-purana by Sri Vijaya, a court poet of King, is ascribed to the early 9th century.
Tamil Buddhist commentators of the 10th century AD (in the commentary on Nemrinatham, a Tamil grammatical work) make references that show that Kannada literature must have flourished as early as the AD 4th century.Around the beginning of the 9th century, Old Kannada was spoken from to. The Kannada spoken between the rivers and was the pure well of Kannada undefiled.The late classical period gave birth to several genres of Kannada literature, with new forms of composition coming into use, including Ragale (a form of blank verse) and meters like Sangatya and Shatpadi. The works of this period are based on and principles. Two of the early writers of this period are and Raghavanka, trailblazers in their own right. Harihara established the Ragale form of composition while popularised the Shatpadi (six-lined stanza) meter.
A famous writer of the same period is, who expressed Jain religious teachings through his works.The tradition of the 12th century is purely native and unique in world literature, and the sum of contributions by all sections of society. Vachanas were pithy poems on that period's social, religious and economic conditions. More importantly, they held a mirror to the seed of social revolution, which caused a radical re-examination of the ideas of caste, creed and religion. Some of the important writers of Vachana literature include, and.Emperor Nripatunga Amoghavarsha I of 850 CE recognised that the Sanskrit style of Kannada literature was Margi (formal or written form of language) and Desi (folk or spoken form of language) style was popular and made his people aware of the strength and beauty of their native language Kannada. In 1112 CE, Jain poet Nayasena of Mulugunda, Dharwad district, in his Champu work Dharmamrita (ಧರ್ಮಾಮೃತ), a book on morals, warns writers from mixing Kannada with Sanskrit by comparing it with mixing of clarified butter and oil. He has written it using very limited Sanskrit words which fit with idiomatic Kannada.
In 1235 CE, Jain poet Andayya, wrote Kabbigara Kava- ಕಬ್ಬಿಗರ ಕಾವ (Poet's Defender), also called Sobagina Suggi (Harvest of Beauty) or Madana-Vijaya and Kavana-Gella (Cupid's Conquest), a Champu work in pure Kannada using only indigenous ( desya) Kannada words and the derived form of Sanskrit words – tadbhavas, without the admixture of Sanskrit words. He succeeded in his challenge and proved wrong those who had advocated that it was impossible to write a work in Kannada without using Sanskrit words. Andayya may be considered as a protector of Kannada poets who were ridiculed by Sanskrit advocates. Thus Kannada is the only Dravidian language which is not only capable of using only native Kannada words and grammar in its literature (like Tamil), but also use Sanskrit grammar and vocabulary (like Telugu, Malayalam, Tulu, etc.) The Champu style of literature of mixing poetry with prose owes its origins to the Kannada language which was later incorporated by poets into Sanskrit and other Indian languages. Middle Kannada. Main articles: andDuring the period between the 15th and 18th centuries, had a great influence on Middle Kannada ( Nadugannada- ನಡುಗನ್ನಡ) language and literature., who wrote the Karnata Bharata Kathamanjari (ಕರ್ಣಾಟ ಭಾರತ ಕಥಾಮಂಜರಿ), was arguably the most influential Kannada writer of this period.
His work, entirely composed in the native Bhamini Shatpadi (hexa-meter), is a sublime adaptation of the first ten books of the.During this period, the Sanskritic influence is present in most abstract, religious, scientific and rhetorical terms. During this period, several and words came into Kannada, chiefly relating to feudalism and militia.Hindu saints of the sect such as, Prasanna Venkatadasa produced devotional poems in this period. Kanakadasa's Ramadhanya Charite (ರಾಮಧಾನ್ಯ ಚರಿತೆ ) is a rare work, concerning with the issue of class struggle. This period saw the advent of Sahitya ( lit Dasa literature) which made rich contributions to literature and sowed the seeds of Carnatic music.
Purandara Dasa is widely considered the Father of Carnatic music. Modern Kannada.
Main articles: andThe Kannada works produced from the 19th century make a gradual transition and are classified as Hosagannada or Modern Kannada. Most notable among the modernists was the poet Nandalike Muddana whose writing may be described as the 'Dawn of Modern Kannada', though generally, linguists treat Indira Bai or Saddharma Vijayavu by Gulvadi Venkata Raya as the first literary works in Modern Kannada. The first modern printing of 'Canarese' appears to be the Canarese Grammar of printed at in 1817, and the ' of in 1820. The first novel printed was 's, along with other texts including Canarese Proverbs, The History of Little Henry and his Bearer by, 's Bible Stories and 'a Canarese hymn book.' Modern Kannada in the 20th century has been influenced by many movements, notably Navodaya, Navya, Navyottara, Dalita and Bandaya. Contemporary Kannada literature has been highly successful in reaching people of all classes in society. Further, Kannada has produced a number of prolific and renowned poets and writers such as,.

Amindivi islands were formerly a part of undivided Dakshina Kannada district. Main article:There is also a considerable difference between the spoken and written forms of the language. Spoken Kannada tends to vary from region to region. The written form is more or less consistent throughout Karnataka. The reports 'about 20 dialects' of Kannada.

The one million in and around Goa speak their own dialect of Kannada, known as Halegannada. They are settled throughout Goa state, throughout Uttara Kannada district and Khanapur taluk of Belagavi district, Karnataka.
The of Uttara Kannada, Shimoga and Dakshina Kannada districts of Karnataka speak in their own dialect of Kannada called Halakki Kannada or Achchagannada.
