telugu is avery typical language to learn due to influence of sanskrit many number of telugu words were changed in to tel-san words for example the pure telugu words for hill is konda,gutta,giri,melandhu or karavi and in our village we call hill intelugu as mayyatu,gidise but because of influence of sanskrit it was changed to shikaram |

What about the word Market of english? Doesn't it sound similar to the Kannada word "MaaruKatte" Maaru == Sell Katte == Place. i.e A place you can sell things. |

except malayalam other dravidian languages tamil,telugu and kannada are moer ancient and belong to one family and many words are common in these languages.
before aryans invaded india tamil,telugu and kannada flourished from a proto dravidian language(1st dravidian unofficial language).
1st tamil dividied from proto dravidian langauge follwed by telugu and kannada.
all these tamil,telugu and kanada developed with only small gap of years.
but only langauge fanatics say tamil is ancient.
kannada and telugu are also equally ancient which has origin not from tamil but from proto dravidian language.
and malayalam is only language in south which is derived from tamil and sanskrit.
tamil,telugu and kannada have the influence of sanskrit but not derived from sanskrit. only aryans imposed their language on telugus,tamil and kannadas.
among dravidian langauges telugu is widely spoken with 16 crore speakers all over the world.
tamil is spoken by 8 crore all over the world
kanada by 5 crores and malayalam by 4 crores.
and telugu language has more number of letters among indian languages.
tamil is ancient script.
telugu is the sweetest of all indian languages and telugu is called "ITALIAN OF THE EAST" as it is only language in india in which all words end with vowel sounds.
tamil,telugu and kannada are most ancient languages in india.
100 s of words are common in tamil,telugu ,kannada and malayalam as tehy belong to same family.
kannada and telugu have the richest script in the whole world.

I'm very curious about the origins of Sanskrit. I was told many years ago that the letters of Sanskrit were derived from Rishis meditating on the glands of the body, and that each gland produced a sound that then became a letter. Someone else told me a similar thing, but that it was the nervous system that was the object of mediation. Anyone know anything about this? |

Re: Dravidian English.
Excellent article. However, the author has incorrectly attributed the words tekka, kayaru and koppara to Malayalam. All three are in fact Tamil words.
Malayalam unlike Tamil and Sankrit, is a derived language. Almost all words in Malayalam have a Tamil or Sanskrit origin.
In Tamil: Thekku is teak; kayaru is rope; kopparai is copra.

'Kidangu' in Tamil and Gidangi in telugu are of same origin, except you cannot have G,J,D,De('The'), B sounds in word beginnings, therefore to be substituted by K,Ch,T, Ta,Pa |
