sorry .i just now checked the map in one of the books i have and it says both tamil and kannada were born out of proto south dravidian.according to that theory kannada was born out of proto south dravidian and not tamil.but my research also says tht tamil is the only language which is closest to even proto dravidian .so according to tht theory tamil is the mother of kannada since proto drav=tamil
Difficult to agree. There is little basis for that reasoning. We have to stick with what is agreed by most which would be the tree that is referred to. The rest is all simply more language chauvinism.
