Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) is a Dravidian language, from the language family of South India, spoken in Karnataka, where it is the official language. It is written in the Kannada script: its letters are round and close relatives of Telugu letters, as both come from the same older script. About 4.4 crore (44 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
Bengali (বাংলা) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in West Bengal and Tripura, and Bangladesh, where it is the national language. It is written in the Bengali–Assamese script: consonants carry a built-in vowel, vowel signs (kar) attach to them, and most letters hang from a line across the top. About 9.7 crore (97 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Kannada and Bengali compare
- Kannada is written in the Kannada script and Bengali in the Bengali–Assamese script, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- Kannada is Dravidian and Bengali is Indo-Aryan: the grammar and most everyday words differ, although both use words that come from Sanskrit.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, which keeps sentences close in shape.
