Literary Significance of the Kannada Language

The origins of Kannada can be traced back to the 3rd century BCE when inscriptions in Prakrit using Kannada script were found. Over time, this script evolved into the modern Kannada script. The language has witnessed influences from various cultures and languages, including Sanskrit, Telugu, Tamil, and Marathi. The earliest known literary work in Kannada is the “Kavirajamarga,” a 9th-century poetic treatise authored by King Amoghavarsha I of the Rashtrakuta dynasty. It provided valuable insights into the linguistic and literary conventions of that era. Another significant work from this period is the “Vaddaradhane,” a collection of moral stories.  <a href="https://medium.com/@inz_30074/literary-significance-of-the-kannada-language-39f4db74b688">Read More</a>
