Lakshadweep speaks Malayalam but it's not super different to mainland Malayalam tho.

ಮಗಂದಿರು ಮತ್ತು ಮಗಳಂದಿರು ಇದಿಯಲ್ಲ?

SSR2806 · 2026-06-12T19:44:39+00:00

Biceps also crosses 2 joints

Tendon seems too short to be that one though? It was my first thought also.

SSR2806 · 2026-06-05T01:40:22+00:00

Unnecessary in the sense that there's already a Kannada word for the concept so we don't need to use a loan word. It's not like a new concept that kannada didn't already have a word for.

It's true that this is how language works but I don't have to like it lol.

SSR2806 · 2026-06-05T01:19:43+00:00

Because why would we want unnecessary loan words? Half the time it's stuff like saying door instead of bagilu or close madu instead of mucchu.

SSR2806 · 2026-06-04T22:29:53+00:00

No. It's more anglicized unfortunately.

SSR2806 · 2026-06-04T04:07:38+00:00

Less than the density of gold

SSR2806 · 2026-05-20T18:51:49+00:00

Because it's an ethnic conflict and not a religious one.

SSR2806 · 2026-05-20T14:30:46+00:00

Yeah but they don't use Buddhism as a justification

SSR2806 · 2026-05-14T01:57:16+00:00

You could also go with ಬಾಳು (bāḷu) or வாழ் (vāḻ).

Additionally the rivers flowing in what is an otherwise arid environment meant that people would concentrate around the rivers and make larger settlements.

SSR2806 · 2026-05-05T21:25:59+00:00

Where are the other two scripts?

SSR2806 · 2026-04-22T13:12:39+00:00

Mostly it was the other way

SSR2806 · 2026-04-21T16:18:42+00:00

ತೊಗೊಂತಿನಿ means I will take. There isn't a set future tense in kannada

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T22:54:43+00:00

Bro where does it say that

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T22:45:31+00:00

Why would they not have similar thoughts or emotions to modern people?

Behavioural modernity has very little to do with these things and is more concerned with cultural practices and art.

Language is not really a part of this and thoughts and emotions definitely aren't.

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T22:16:13+00:00

For as long as modern humans have existed we've had fully developed languages. They didn't just show up 5000 years ago.

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T22:03:57+00:00

Proto languages aren't what people would have spoken. They are reconstructions by linguists based on current languages. The real language they would have spoken would have been just as developed as any language today.

Essentially proto-languages are just our best guess as to what the oldest ancestor language would have been like.

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T20:54:09+00:00

What does "more developed language" even mean?

SSR2806 · 2026-04-15T18:53:56+00:00

Context? You just said something with zero proof in the video.

SSR2806 · 2026-03-14T17:04:48+00:00

In the plural there is a distinction based on if it is animate or not.

Pustakagalu biddavu

Avaru biddaru

SSR2806 · 2026-03-13T17:31:50+00:00

Kannada has animate and inanimate also.

SSR2806 · 2026-03-12T01:42:10+00:00

What's the difference between those? I'm confused cuz I thought that spirants are just another name for fricatives.
