The Kannada language is written using the Kannada script. The other native languages of Karnataka, Tulu, Kodava Takk, Beary bashe and Konkani are also written using the Kannada script.


Literary Old Kannada flourished in the 9th to 10th centuryRashtrakuta Dynasty. Contemporary Kannada literature is the most successful in India, with India's highest literary honor, theJnanpith awards, having been conferred seven times upon Kannada writers, which is the highest for any language in India.[6


The Kannada script is a syllabary (of the type sometimes called an abugida) of the Brahmic family,[1] used primarily to write the Kannada language, one of the Dravidian languages in India. It is also used for Konkani, Tulu, Beary bashe and Kodava languages.



Kannada (Kanarese or Canarese) script is derived from the Old Kannda script.[2] Old Kannada script is the continuation of the Kadamba scriptinvolved during 10th century CE,[3] used to write the Kannada and Telugu languages, called as Kannada-Telugu script. Modern scripts ofKannada and Telugu started to separate as early as the 13th century CE (During 1100 CE - 1400 CE).
The Kadamba script is evolved from the Brahmi script (during 5th century CE).[4]
