There's always a debate on oldest language of the india! Tamilians say that Tamil is the oldest however, I read somewhere Kannada ( Halegannada ) was the oldest one.

Getlemen, any thoughts ?

@Indischer @vivINDIAN @Hermione @JanjaWeed @KEMPE GOWDA @IndoCarib

I'd say Tamil today has preserved greater elements of Proto-Dravidian than Kannada, but it would be wrong to say Tamil is the oldest. Both Kannada and Tamil have evolved simultaneously from a much older Proto-Language. For a lack of concrete proof, I won't say Kannada is the oldest either.

Only one thing is for sure. Dravidian languages are older than Sanskrit.

Is it just me or Kannada is lot more "familiar" for a North Indian ,compared to say Tamil? I can see a lot of Sanskrit derived words.

Kannada has abandoned the usage of many original dravidian words in favour of loanwords from Sanskrit while Tamil has stoutly resisted it. I can barely understand anything from Old Kannada (5th-12th century) and can pick up just the general import from middle Kannada (12th-18th century).

Probably the percentage of Sanskrit loanwords is highest in Malayalam followed by Kannada and Telugu.

I agree with @nair .

All south Indian languages have Sanskrit words in common.

If you know any one of the south Indian language (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam) you can understand other languages; not entirely however, at least figure out what others are talking, you would get the context right

Tulu is an exception though. Am I right @JanjaWeed ?

Couldn't agree more

@nair Earlier in kannada,the word for Thank You used to be Nannigalu. Now, it's Dhanyavadagalu. I believe it's still Nanni in Malayalam?

Very true. Halegannada is really difficult to comprehend. I still remember byhearting halegannada poems in primary and high school without knowing what actually they are

Not really @kseeker ... Tulu has quite a lot in common with Kannada & Malayalam both... more so Kannada than any other south Indian languages. But yes... all South Indian languages are unique & has quite a lot in common despite having their own script!
