How Kannada looks on the page
- Script
- Kannada script, close to Telugu script, written left to right.
- Numbers
- Kannada digits exist, but 0–9 is used in daily writing.
- Names
- In Kannada text, names often carry a village or family initial before the given name.
Writing to Kannada readers
- Saying "you"
- Kannada has neevu (respectful or plural) and neenu (familiar). Check the tone when you write to an elder, a client or an officer.
- Sentence order
- English puts the verb after the subject and Kannada puts the verb at the end, so sentences are rebuilt, not swapped word for word.
- Mixed words
- Bengaluru speech mixes in English words, especially at work.
- Who reads it
- Kannada is spoken in Karnataka.
