Which is the oldest language between Kannada and Tamil? What is the proof?
What kind of evidence are they looking at?
Linguists and historians examine factors like the complexity of the language, the number of loanwords from other languages, and the presence of written texts dating back to ancient times to determine the age of a language. Some argue that Kannada has more advanced grammar and syntax, but others point to Tamil's rich literary tradition as evidence of its antiquity.
