Hiiiiiiiiii! Now it’s time to go to Canada! Oh wait… never mind… teeheehee. Now it;s time to learn about Kannada… the language NOT the country. Well have funnnnnn reading!!!
Facts:
The Kannada language is suuuuuper old, not the oldest but still ooooold, 2000 years old.
Guess what? Random fact… Kannada is one of the Indian languages that is on the Wikipedia logo.
India has so many Indian languages, I believe that this would be how America would be if the colonizers did not come. Each Indigenous tribe or clan would have their own language. That would be awesome.
Oh la la, there are 38 million (Million!!!) people who speak this language
Weird how Kannada is a language and Canada is a country but Kannada is not spoken in Canada. Oh well. shrug. Kannada is spoken in India or more specifically of the regions of Karnataka and Goa.
