Kannada has a rich, ancient history and is 99.99% perfect both logically and phonetically.
It has received eight Jnapeetha Awards, and Shri Vinoba Bhava praised its script as the “Queen of world scripts.” Kannada is phonetic: you write what you speak and read what you write. Reverend Ferdinand Kittel even wrote a dictionary for Kannada, the only Indian language to have this distinction. Today, Kannada thrives with a vibrant literary tradition, encompassing both classical and contemporary works, reflecting Karnataka’s cultural and linguistic diversity.
