dbpprop:abstract
  • Tamil-Kannada is a hypothetical inner branch of the South Dravidian I (SDr I) subfamily of the Southern Dravidian languages that include Tamil and Kannada.). Tamil-Kannada itself is designated as a branch of the Tamil-Tulu branch of the South Dravidian I subfamily (Tulu by itself forming the other branch of SDr I) and in turn branches off into Tamil-Kodagu and Kannada-Badaga whereby we eventually have Tamil, Malayalam, Irula, Toda, Kota and Kodagu, Badaga, and Kannada as the members of the Tamil-Kannada branch . The separation of Tamil-Kannada occurred with the separation of Tulu and before the separation of Kodagu branch from South-Proto-Dravidian language, somewhere around 2000-1500 BC. Kannada and Tamil are also considered to have sprung out of a language called 'Kandamil'. It is mentioned in 'Avadhoota Gita' (by Dattātreya, Shri Purohit, Purohit, Shankar Mokashi-Punekar Published by Munshiram Manoharlal, 1979 Original from the University of California) that Kandamil is more ancient than Vedic tradition. However, more research is needed on this topic. Kannada and Tamil are recognized among the official languages of India and are spoken mainly in South India.
