Introduction:

Kannada, a Dravidian language is spoken mainly by people of Karnataka, a state in south India. It is the first language of almost 40 million people and many others living in the bordering states of Karnataka use it as their second language. The government of India also granted it the status of classical language in the year 2008. The script of Kannada evolved from Brahmi script. There are many ways to learn this beautiful south Indian language depending on the time you can spend and your reason to learn Kannada.
