| This is so ignorant and willfully racist I’m going to reply once and then stop. First is Kannada. Kannadiga means a person of Kannada culture. Same with Malayalee-Malayalam. No one accepts in any southern languages that Sanskrit is the mother language. This notion died in 20th century when linguistic analysis showed the mutual interaction between languages. Tamil and Sanskrit might seem similar to you the same way German and English are. But just as they didn’t inherit one another neither did Sanskrit or Tamil. After the decline of Indus Valley and drought in the Saraswati basin the people moved south and westwards. This is archeologically well supported. Volga is in Russia. Ancient India was only up to Khyber pass. Chanakya made it a point to protect that pass to protect India from foreign invasions and it was never breached until Islamic invasions 1000 years ago. It’s Ashtadhyayi my dude. Not Ashtaadayi. It’s not even a word. The fact that you don’t realize this glaring error after pointing it out twice tells me everything about your actual knowledge behind these claims. I’m from an orthodox Brahmin community and yes we do speak Sanskrit. Not just speak but plenty of my relatives have written books and conducted debates in them regularly. Which is also why your borderline childish knowledge seems so obvious to me. And Christian missionary what? Here we go again with the victim complex and conspiracies. You blame someone else for your own ignorance. Phonetic sounds are never the basis for identification of languages. Mutual intelligibility and grammar is. Lots of languages sound like one another without having anything in common. All European languages roughly use Greco-Roman phonemes. But they’re far from identical. There’s no political rhetoric in my replies. It’s you who is making up random unsubstantiated claims and twisting reality when you can’t even spell or correctly write 50% of the words you’re using. Sanskrit is not the mother of anything. It existed along with Prakrit, Pali and dozens of other languages. They all mixed, bred and propagated through history. Your North Indian supremacist attitude is just a coping mechanism to escape from poverty and backwardness of the north BTW: I’m not a tamilian. I just used it as an example. And here you are talking about missionary funding and Christianity. It tells a lot about what you actually think. You’ve been fed some Hindutva propaganda and you’re trying to parrot it here. |
