It would be important if we are talking about modern geopolitics, but it is not actually that relevant to this video. Because although that is true today, it was not true in the past. During the period of the roman empire, for example, the population in Europe would have likely greatly exceeded that of India for long periods of time.
@@flyingeagle3898 That’s a really good point. Thank you! (Yeah, Zach, all these scripts were just invented yesterday 🤦♂️, haha) From what I’ve seen, which, I could def be mistaken, I think it varies widely, too, depending on the estimate with some having India’s population as about the same or even a good chunk larger around 1 AD/CE (I don’t know which one to use if I’m being honest) (tho that’s a random time and would include modern day Pakistan and Bangladesh)
@@flyingeagle3898 india and China held the top positions for millennia in terms of population (Solely attributed to geography climate and a peaceful culture) Europe on the other hand had a lot of in fighting solely due to dearth of resources cold climate and large number of regimes popping up India even held the number one position in terms of population for 100 years during the golden age (These are all estimations obviously for more information you can check out more videos on the same topic !)

Fun fact: Both Marathi and Maithili which both use the Devanagari script today, used have their own scripts known as the Modi script and Maithili/Tirhuta script, and the modi script was in use as recently as 1917!
Sadly, the beautiful modi script which gave life to the Marathi language is not used anymore. There are talks of revival, but mostly limited to academic institutions, and the general marathi public arent too motivated for a script revival.
@@bhanupratap1063 I don't think so. It was written in Modi. The british could not print in Modi and used devanagari instead. Modi script was used by commoners and traders. Devanagari was used by elite brahmins.

On south indian side, He totally brushed over explanation the origins of Kannada and telugu scripts. And obviously, there are a lot more scripts in india than he described. Example, the tigalari script. Which my ancestors used to write sanskrit texts. And before that, a common script for Tulu language. Nowadays, the Tulu people are trying to revive the script, using it in banners hoardings and even temple entrance signs. It's a descendant of Grantha script. So, malayalam is a sister script to it. And look very similar.
@Varoon hot take, but if they want to make use of their language more sustainable, they should use a Latin-based script instead of reviving their script, because Latin-based scripts are much simpler to use on computers than Indic abugidas, and more importantly, they are inherently much simpler. You don't need to learn all the different dependent forms and ligatures, and if done right, there will be only one sound per grapheme.
He is in the Ashoka's timeline. Whereas Sanskrit and all the other India languages are much older. He is fooling us 😞 know the truth his video is based on assumptions and theory not on real fact.
@Varoon actually Latin or any alphabetical script that does not have ligatures is inherently simpler to implement on a computer. Again French is just Latin with a few extra letters like é and having extra letters is not a problem. Japanese, while having a lot of characters, has no ligatures and hence very easy to *render* but hard to actually *type* for which you need an IME. Basically any script without ligatures is okay, and unfortunately abugidas have ligatures by definition. Letter case causes 0 problems, they just added lowercase and capital letters as separate characters. Devanagari/indic scripts *can* be simplified, the problem is they possess an inherent complexity that can't be simplified because they are abugidas and hence have to combine consonants with vowels at the very least. Having all the phonemes represented the same no matter where they are (an alphabetical system) is just the simplest way to do things. Saying that adopting an alphabet will wipe out your heritage is an exaggeration at the least. If anything, it will preserve your heritage better as the language becomes easier to teach, read and write. Any language written in a well-designed Latin-based script becomes trivially easy to read. Languages like Turkish switched to Latin because it was just simpler than their previous system and hence boosted literacy rates. For minority/endangered languages simplicity is very important as it will make learning easier which will encourage more people to learn/adopt the language.
@Varoon Chinese and Japanese (because of Chinese borrowings) have too many homophones; words that sound the same but have different meanings. Because of this, Chinese uses logographs and Japanese uses... whatever they came up with. I never said I want to replace every script by Latin, that's just a miscommunication. My suggestion was aimed specifically at minority/obscure/endangered languages. And it doesn't need to be Latin, it just needs to be a simple alphabetical system. But then there's already Latin so why not just use it? Again, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, etc. are just fine. They have huge numbers of native speakers which will only increase in the future, along with cultural/media dominance in their respective regions. It's the languages that don't enjoy those privileges that I'm talking about. I think it's simply unfair to make *everyone* learn a complicated (an understatement, especially when it comes to Ottoman Turkish) script just because they wouldn't be able to read a few inscriptions otherwise. Anyone who is specifically interested in the old script and wants to read old inscriptions can simply learn the old script and nothing would stop them, especially these days when such things could be learnt on the Internet for free. 'Shiva' is fine, unless you want it to be Devanagari-accurate in which case you could just use 'śiva' or whatever the IAST usage is, or even make up your own spelling convention. Anything is fine as long as everyone agrees on it. Again, it's not impossible to get the Indic stuff working on computers, nor is it impossible to teach it to people. But if you're in this situation where your old script isn't really being used, I think it's definitely worth it to make the switch because it will make learning and usage definitely easier.
@@theodiscusgaming3909 One is simpler relative to something else. One growing learning the thing don't feel, 'oh, that is so much more easier we should so that.'

Before 19th century marathi too had its own script known as "mo(l)dhi" which was given up to make language more easy to print as it had very curved strokes which made it difficult for block printing.
In the Keezhadi excavations, researchers have found brahmi script alongside markings that look very similar to indus valley scripts. Most likely brahmi is a mix of aramaic and indus valley-like scripts
Considering Tamil kingdoms have trade relations with the Near East and were related to the Harappans, it is safe to say Brahmi script is perhaps a mixture of both Aramaic and Harappan script...

As a native Marathi speaker, you should someday post a video on our language. We have some really unusual pronunciations and alphabets for our language which descends from Prakrit subfamily of Sanskrit based languages but we share a lot of Dravidian features and that of some Persian words into our lexicons. For example, each consonant here(ट ठ ड ढ) is pronounced distinctly in Marathi, whereas, Hindi speakers might mix up Sh(श) and S(स) as in Desh/ Des or Ganesh/Ganes or Shankar/Sankar so, on Consonant ळ is absent from Hindi diction, but is assumed to have entered into our Marathi diction from Dravidian languages, Malayalam having four sounds to that.(though, it does exist in Sanskrit but rarely used). Consonant ज्ञ in Marathi would be pronounced as "gyn" but in Hindi would be "gya". We also have a distinct "ज" which can be substituted for the Z sounds as well as J sounds, Marathi speakers know the distinction on where to use it. Z alphabet completely absent from Indian languages. I think it made into our diction from Aramaic Alphabets since Brahmi script was based on it and Persians spoke a dialect of Aramaic too. So, Zaheer would be pronounced with a "Z" and not with a "J" which most Indians don't have a distinct consonant for, lately a "ज़" has come into existence. Similarly, with the Consonant "फ" which can be used both for "Fa" (as in far) sounds and "phaa" (as in purple) sounds. Most Marathi speakers can speak the consonant "क्ष" easily, whereas, a lot of non-Marathi speakers would use a "chh/छ" for it(not necessarily) , as in Kshatriya(You'd find many Hindi speakers say Chatriya), Kshetraphal(Chetraphal), so, on. One more fact, is we have close to 42 dialects in Marathi and trust me, each dialect can qualify for a different sub-language(if this even makes sense). Most people from say, Vidarbha region wont understand Marathwada speakers of Marathi and so on .. Most of our words are so Sanskrit in base that literature of Marathi can classify as the closest to Sanskrit of all Indian languages but won't be understood by the usual crowd. irrespective of that, We are Indians and im proud of each and every language that exists in my country's realm. We are all equal and beautiful in our own ways. The motive of this post is not to showcase a superiority over other languages but just to point out a few distinctions. Thanks for your awesome video, LIKE ALWAYS !!!

Three types of Scripts were used to write the Tamil language, 2000 years ago they use ' Tamili scripts' and 2AD to 14AD they use Vatteluttu script ( because of writing purpose in palm leaf ), now they use modern Tamil (தமிழ்) .
Historian do not agree to that brahmi script was derived from Phoenician. There are a competitive view that it was developed independently or even from IVC. There is dark age of 1000 years in indian history between fall of IVC and rise of brahmi . What you mentioned is euro centric view that every thing originated in middle East. Either in Sumer or Phoenicia. We know you belong to Europe but promoting eurocentric view of India is quite limiting and biased . Don't u think.
The Brahmi script did derive from Aramaic (which derived from Phoenician). The IVC script died out in the dark ages of 1000 years, and even if the script being related to Aramaic is debated, you can even take one glance at the IVC script and the Brahmi script and tell that they are different, as the IVC script is a pictographic script, meaning that every symbol means 1 word, while the Brahmi script is an abugida. The Aramaic script was visibly also similar to the Brahmi script, as you can identify characters that look extremely similar. Also, the Aramaic language (along with its script) spread eastward in the Persian Empire, which borders the Indus, which resulted in the Aramaic influence on India, leading to the formation of the Brahmi script. I'm not sure which historian disagrees with the Brahmi script deriving from Phoenician thing, because I thought historians discovered it in the first place.

You have to update yourself. There used to be a belief that Tamil-brahmi evolved from Brahmi. Tamil-brahmi was named "Tamil-Brahmi", only because it was discovered later. But once after the Keezhadi excavation, they found that Tamil-brahmi is found to be at least 500 years old compared to Brahmi. Moreover, Tamil-brahmi is no longer called Tamil-brahmi. It is called THAMILI. This term was attested in Saamavenga sudham(a jain text) and Lalithavitharam(budhist text), both belonging to the 1-2nd century.

Sumerian words that are still in use in Kannada Sumerians (5500 BCE - 1800 BCE) & Akkadians (2400 BCE ) called the people of Indus/Harrapan (3300 BCE - 1300 BCE) as Meluhha, MeluKhkha or MeluhhaKi. The word MeluKhkha literally means people of high lands and is just as same as KarNata Mele = Higher = Kar Akha/Ki = Country = Nata Malla in Kannada also means Great. Many Kannada kings had title with Malla like: JagadekaMalla, TribhuvanaMalla (Vikramaditya), Trailokyamalla/Ahavamalla (Someshwara) KarNata Kingdom who ruled Nepal, Bihar, UP called themselves as MallaVamshi (Great Clan) of KarNata. Even today in Karnataka names like MallAmma, MallAnna, Mallesha are very common. Many historians, Linguists, Philologists now claim that the Root of Dravidian/Kannada language is connected with Sumero-Dravidian languages. One of the most remarkable things about Kannada is, Sumerian words are not only found in earlier Kannada (haLeGannada, NaduGannada) but are still in use even in today's Kannada (HosaGannada). Sumerians/Akkadians both record trades with Indus/Harrappan people with items names having names of Kannada origin or connected with Kannada. Like, Agar[a/u] : Fragrance Wood Oil - SandleWood eLLu : Sesame - eLLu Bison/Buffalos Horns - KA is still famous for KadEmme (Wild Buffallo/Bisons) Some Sumerian words that are still in use in Kannada Ri - Respectable / elderly person (Ree - to elders, verbs suffixed with ree [Verb+Ree] - for elderly person: Madri [Please do], keLri [Please listen]) Bi-ra - Mix (Kannada - Bera as in Berasu) Su - do (Madisu, keLisu, torisu) Karu - Black - Kari Nir - Water - Nir Ag - To become (Aagu - become) Ur - Village ( Ur/Uru in Kananda) Sig - Sun Burnt tiles (Sigadi - Fireplace, from Seke - Heat from sun, similar to Shaki/Saki - Sultry due to sun) Bir - Break (Biruku - Break) Sumerian Counting One - Ur/Uru - Or/Ondu Two - Ir - Iru/Eradu Three - Mu - Mu/Muru Four - Na - Nalk[u] Five - A/ia - ay/Ayd[u] Six - as - Aar[u] Ten - Ha - Hatthu With connection of Kannada with Sumerian, Akkadian, Indus civilization there is no doubt that Kannada is one of the longest living languages. Needless to say advent of Sanskrit/Prakrit have done tremendous erosion of culture & history to Kannada in past. Credits: Research by A. Sathasivam M.A., Ph.D. on Dravidian and Sumerian Languages.

For the Philippines one you forgot 4 more which is Kulitan, Hanunuó'o, Buhid and Tagbanwa. There's about 3 more which is Badlit, Basahan and Kurditan/Kuritan, these 3 are just fonts or derivations(?) of baybayin the difference is that the fonts or derivations (?) is a different language.
In fact, every state in India has a different language. And each language has its own section. Even sometimes the sectiona are so different that you can’t relate to each other but they belong to the same language and state.

Just a correction: Marathi (historically had 2 scripts) The modi (pronounced mo-dee) and the devanagri script While the former was dominant before the 1600s the latter is widely used now There're some places which still practice this lipi (script) but its slowly becoming obselete
Modi lipi was a cursive variant of the Devanagari script which was developed in order to write official records. Devanagari was used to write inscriptions, literature etc while modi was used to write official records.after the indian independence both modi and balbodh (Devanagari) were taught in schools but during the 1960s the teaching of modi script was discontinued in schools. modi being a cursive script it was difficult to produce a standard typeset for it.As devanagari already had a standard typeset it was decided to continue teaching marathi in the balbodh variant of the devanagari script.
@Ketan Kulkarni but the people who don't know much about marathi think this language to be some dialect of Hindi because of there scripts are the same.So it is necessary to reintroduce modi inorder to give marathi a unique identity of its own.
@@adityaranjanbiswal4044 Marathi Script has nothing to do with Hindi Script!! We actually use Sanskrit (Devanagiri) script with some extra alphabets like ळ L:a and different sounds of ज्ञ - Dnya (e.g. आज्ञा- Aadnya- permission ) , च - çh, ज - j'a, and ढ - d"ha.
@@vedantsonawane8104 actually sanskrit never had a script of its it was always written in the script specific to that region, in central and north india sanskrit was written in the devanagari script in eastern India sanskrit was written in eastern nagari(Assamese-bengali script ) In tamilnadu sanskrit was written in a variant of the tamil script known as the grantha script,In my home state odisha sanskrit is written in the odia script.so there is no such script called as the Sanskrit script. The script used to write sanskrit depends on the region where it is written.
So all language scripts are descendants of the Phoenician. Are you stating this as a possibility or as a fact? Since you also mentioned that the sources conflicted with each other
He meant that the Latin script, along with other Semitic scripts and Brahmi were derived or were atleast partially influenced by the Phoenician script. And yes, there are other scripts that originated independently like the Harappan script or the Chinese script..

I am a Lankan Tamil working in the USA. I can read and write in Tamil. My co-worker is from India (working with me in the USA), with the last name Shah.

Now she can read and write in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu and in English. Amazing right! She said she learnt most of the languages from childhood days and she was able grasp them quickly. With so much love I have towards my Tamil language, I asked her if she can learn Tamil as well ❤

@@darknessincarnate138 Sanskrit is Indo-European language, by the time aryan nomad tribes came to India ivc was gone, the knowledge of cities were lost, it would take 500-700 years for cities to arise again in late vedic age but still wouldn't be as advanced as ivc cities with city planning and drainage system.
one crucial concern that it is very improbable that a dying ABJAD ARMANIC transformed suddenly to Highly complex ABUGIDA MAGADHI that too in heart of Ancient India called Magadh. Likely the MISSING LINK is HARAPPAN SCRIPT.
Aramaic wasn't dying. It only started dying at around 700 AD when the Arab Muslims invaded and forced them to speak Arabic. The missing link between how an abjad became an abugida is still under question, but it's probably that they reshaped the abjad and turned it into an abugida, like how the Greeks took an abjad and turned it into an alphabet for them to use as their own. The Brahmi script probably took a lot of influence from the Harappan script though.
Well it's partially true. Telangana and Andhra both speak Telugu but were divided on development basis.

Fun fact: Both Marathi and Maithili which both use the Devanagari script today, used have their own scripts known as the Modi script and Maithili/Tirhuta script, and the modi script was in use as recently as 1917!
Sadly, the beautiful modi script which gave life to the Marathi language is not used anymore. There are talks of revival, but mostly limited to academic institutions, and the general marathi public arent too motivated for a script revival.
@@vicnad92 Marathi was originally written in Devanagari, Modi came in between and gone.
@@bhanupratap1063 I don't think so. It was written in Modi. The british could not print in Modi and used devanagari instead. Modi script was used by commoners and traders. Devanagari was used by elite brahmins.

@@vicnad92 It'll sound funny when Modi himself tries to revive the Modi script 😂😂
On south indian side,
He totally brushed over explanation the origins of Kannada and telugu scripts.
And obviously, there are a lot more scripts in india than he described.
Example, the tigalari script. Which my ancestors used to write sanskrit texts. And before that, a common script for Tulu language.
Nowadays, the Tulu people are trying to revive the script, using it in banners hoardings and even temple entrance signs.
It's a descendant of Grantha script.
So, malayalam is a sister script to it. And look very similar.
@Varoon hot take, but if they want to make use of their language more sustainable, they should use a Latin-based script instead of reviving their script, because Latin-based scripts are much simpler to use on computers than Indic abugidas, and more importantly, they are inherently much simpler. You don't need to learn all the different dependent forms and ligatures, and if done right, there will be only one sound per grapheme.
He is in the Ashoka's timeline. Whereas Sanskrit and all the other India languages are much older. He is fooling us 😞 know the truth his video is based on assumptions and theory not on real fact.
@Varoon actually Latin or any alphabetical script that does not have ligatures is inherently simpler to implement on a computer. Again French is just Latin with a few extra letters like é and having extra letters is not a problem.
Japanese, while having a lot of characters, has no ligatures and hence very easy to *render* but hard to actually *type* for which you need an IME. Basically any script without ligatures is okay, and unfortunately abugidas have ligatures by definition.
Letter case causes 0 problems, they just added lowercase and capital letters as separate characters.
Devanagari/indic scripts *can* be simplified, the problem is they possess an inherent complexity that can't be simplified because they are abugidas and hence have to combine consonants with vowels at the very least. Having all the phonemes represented the same no matter where they are (an alphabetical system) is just the simplest way to do things.
Saying that adopting an alphabet will wipe out your heritage is an exaggeration at the least. If anything, it will preserve your heritage better as the language becomes easier to teach, read and write. Any language written in a well-designed Latin-based script becomes trivially easy to read. Languages like Turkish switched to Latin because it was just simpler than their previous system and hence boosted literacy rates. For minority/endangered languages simplicity is very important as it will make learning easier which will encourage more people to learn/adopt the language.
@Varoon Chinese and Japanese (because of Chinese borrowings) have too many homophones; words that sound the same but have different meanings. Because of this, Chinese uses logographs and Japanese uses... whatever they came up with.
I never said I want to replace every script by Latin, that's just a miscommunication. My suggestion was aimed specifically at minority/obscure/endangered languages. And it doesn't need to be Latin, it just needs to be a simple alphabetical system. But then there's already Latin so why not just use it?
Again, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, etc. are just fine. They have huge numbers of native speakers which will only increase in the future, along with cultural/media dominance in their respective regions. It's the languages that don't enjoy those privileges that I'm talking about.
I think it's simply unfair to make *everyone* learn a complicated (an understatement, especially when it comes to Ottoman Turkish) script just because they wouldn't be able to read a few inscriptions otherwise. Anyone who is specifically interested in the old script and wants to read old inscriptions can simply learn the old script and nothing would stop them, especially these days when such things could be learnt on the Internet for free.
'Shiva' is fine, unless you want it to be Devanagari-accurate in which case you could just use 'śiva' or whatever the IAST usage is, or even make up your own spelling convention. Anything is fine as long as everyone agrees on it.
Again, it's not impossible to get the Indic stuff working on computers, nor is it impossible to teach it to people. But if you're in this situation where your old script isn't really being used, I think it's definitely worth it to make the switch because it will make learning and usage definitely easier.

In the Keezhadi excavations, researchers have found brahmi script alongside markings that look very similar to indus valley scripts. Most likely brahmi is a mix of aramaic and indus valley-like scripts
Considering Tamil kingdoms have trade relations with the Near East and were related to the Harappans, it is safe to say Brahmi script is perhaps a mixture of both Aramaic and Harappan script...

Most of us Indians grow up trilingual (full proficiency - speaking, reading, writing).. and have the intrinsic ability to understand many more..
Sadly that fact isn't true. Only 18% Indians know English of which half are bad in it. It's ironic we are asked to study and work in English while countries with more English speakers like Germany and Russia use their native languages in everything.
Indians are monolingual to a very large extent. Trilinguals form a rather small part of India's population (around 10-15%?). Bilinguals outnumber trilinguals in India although bilinguals themselves probably number less than monolinguals in India.

As a native Marathi speaker, you should someday post a video on our language.
We have some really unusual pronunciations and alphabets for our language which descends from Prakrit subfamily of Sanskrit based languages but we share a lot of Dravidian features and that of some Persian words into our lexicons.
For example, each consonant here(ट ठ ड ढ) is pronounced distinctly in Marathi, whereas, Hindi speakers might mix up Sh(श) and S(स) as in Desh/ Des or Ganesh/Ganes or Shankar/Sankar so, on
Consonant ळ is absent from Hindi diction, but is assumed to have entered into our Marathi diction from Dravidian languages, Malayalam having four sounds to that.(though, it does exist in Sanskrit but rarely used).
Consonant ज्ञ in Marathi would be pronounced as "gyn" but in Hindi would be "gya".
We also have a distinct "ज" which can be substituted for the Z sounds as well as J sounds, Marathi speakers know the distinction on where to use it. Z alphabet completely absent from Indian languages. I think it made into our diction from Aramaic Alphabets since Brahmi script was based on it and Persians spoke a dialect of Aramaic too. So, Zaheer would be pronounced with a "Z" and not with a "J" which most Indians don't have a distinct consonant for, lately a "ज़" has come into existence.
Similarly, with the Consonant "फ" which can be used both for "Fa" (as in far) sounds and "phaa" (as in purple) sounds.
Most Marathi speakers can speak the consonant "क्ष" easily, whereas, a lot of non-Marathi speakers would use a "chh/छ" for it(not necessarily) , as in Kshatriya(You'd find many Hindi speakers say Chatriya), Kshetraphal(Chetraphal), so, on.
One more fact, is we have close to 42 dialects in Marathi and trust me, each dialect can qualify for a different sub-language(if this even makes sense). Most people from say, Vidarbha region wont understand Marathwada speakers of Marathi and so on ..
Most of our words are so Sanskrit in base that literature of Marathi can classify as the closest to Sanskrit of all Indian languages but won't be understood by the usual crowd.
irrespective of that, We are Indians and im proud of each and every language that exists in my country's realm. We are all equal and beautiful in our own ways. The motive of this post is not to showcase a superiority over other languages but just to point out a few distinctions.
Thanks for your awesome video, LIKE ALWAYS !!!

@@Bhaktiimarrg yea it's the same here(tamil nadu)
You mean zhagaram by zh right?
Historian do not agree to that brahmi script was derived from Phoenician. There are a competitive view that it was developed independently or even from IVC. There is dark age of 1000 years in indian history between fall of IVC and rise of brahmi .
What you mentioned is euro centric view that every thing originated in middle East. Either in Sumer or Phoenicia.
We know you belong to Europe but promoting eurocentric view of India is quite limiting and biased . Don't u think.
The Brahmi script did derive from Aramaic (which derived from Phoenician). The IVC script died out in the dark ages of 1000 years, and even if the script being related to Aramaic is debated, you can even take one glance at the IVC script and the Brahmi script and tell that they are different, as the IVC script is a pictographic script, meaning that every symbol means 1 word, while the Brahmi script is an abugida. The Aramaic script was visibly also similar to the Brahmi script, as you can identify characters that look extremely similar. Also, the Aramaic language (along with its script) spread eastward in the Persian Empire, which borders the Indus, which resulted in the Aramaic influence on India, leading to the formation of the Brahmi script. I'm not sure which historian disagrees with the Brahmi script deriving from Phoenician thing, because I thought historians discovered it in the first place.

You have to update yourself. There used to be a belief that Tamil-brahmi evolved from Brahmi. Tamil-brahmi was named "Tamil-Brahmi", only because it was discovered later. But once after the Keezhadi excavation, they found that Tamil-brahmi is found to be at least 500 years old compared to Brahmi. Moreover, Tamil-brahmi is no longer called Tamil-brahmi. It is called THAMILI. This term was attested in Saamavenga sudham(a jain text) and Lalithavitharam(budhist text), both belonging to the 1-2nd century.

Sumerian words that are still in use in Kannada
Sumerians (5500 BCE - 1800 BCE) & Akkadians (2400 BCE ) called the people of Indus/Harrapan (3300 BCE - 1300 BCE) as Meluhha, MeluKhkha or MeluhhaKi.
The word MeluKhkha literally means people of
high lands and is just as same as KarNata
Mele = Higher = Kar
Akha/Ki = Country = Nata
Malla in Kannada also means Great.
Many Kannada kings had title with Malla like: JagadekaMalla, TribhuvanaMalla (Vikramaditya), Trailokyamalla/Ahavamalla (Someshwara)
KarNata Kingdom who ruled Nepal, Bihar, UP called themselves as MallaVamshi (Great Clan) of KarNata.
Even today in Karnataka names like MallAmma, MallAnna, Mallesha are very common.
Many historians, Linguists, Philologists now claim that the Root of Dravidian/Kannada language is connected with Sumero-Dravidian languages.
One of the most remarkable things about Kannada is, Sumerian words are not only found in earlier Kannada (haLeGannada, NaduGannada) but are still in use even in today's Kannada (HosaGannada).
Sumerians/Akkadians both record trades with Indus/Harrappan people with items names having names of Kannada origin or connected with Kannada. Like,
Agar[a/u] : Fragrance Wood Oil - SandleWood
eLLu : Sesame - eLLu
Bison/Buffalos Horns - KA is still famous for KadEmme (Wild Buffallo/Bisons)
Some Sumerian words that are still in use in Kannada
Ri - Respectable / elderly person
(Ree - to elders, verbs suffixed with ree [Verb+Ree] - for elderly person: Madri [Please do], keLri [Please listen])
Bi-ra - Mix (Kannada - Bera as in Berasu)
Su - do (Madisu, keLisu, torisu)
Karu - Black - Kari
Nir - Water - Nir
Ag - To become (Aagu - become)
Ur - Village ( Ur/Uru in Kananda)
Sig - Sun Burnt tiles (Sigadi - Fireplace, from Seke - Heat from sun, similar to Shaki/Saki - Sultry due to sun)
Bir - Break (Biruku - Break)
Sumerian Counting
One - Ur/Uru - Or/Ondu
Two - Ir - Iru/Eradu
Three - Mu - Mu/Muru
Four - Na - Nalk[u]
Five - A/ia - ay/Ayd[u]
Six - as - Aar[u]
Ten - Ha - Hatthu
With connection of Kannada with Sumerian, Akkadian, Indus civilization there is no doubt that Kannada is one of the longest living languages.
Needless to say advent of Sanskrit/Prakrit have done tremendous erosion of culture & history to Kannada in past.

Just a correction:
Marathi (historically had 2 scripts)
The modi (pronounced mo-dee) and the devanagri script
While the former was dominant before the 1600s the latter is widely used now
There're some places which still practice this lipi (script) but its slowly becoming obselete
Modi lipi was a cursive variant of the Devanagari script which was developed in order to write official records. Devanagari was used to write inscriptions, literature etc while modi was used to write official records.after the indian independence both modi and balbodh (Devanagari) were taught in schools but during the 1960s the teaching of modi script was discontinued in schools. modi being a cursive script it was difficult to produce a standard typeset for it.As devanagari already had a standard typeset it was decided to continue teaching marathi in the balbodh variant of the devanagari script.
@Ketan Kulkarni but the people who don't know much about marathi think this language to be some dialect of Hindi because of there scripts are the same.So it is necessary to reintroduce modi inorder to give marathi a unique identity of its own.

So all language scripts are descendants of the Phoenician. Are you stating this as a possibility or as a fact? Since you also mentioned that the sources conflicted with each other
He meant that the Latin script, along with other Semitic scripts and Brahmi were derived or were atleast partially influenced by the Phoenician script. And yes, there are other scripts that originated independently like the Harappan script or the Chinese script..
@@jojosekhose2008 Harrapans don’t have their own script.
@@nomanor7987 The Harappans technically have a pictographic script which is still not deciphered.
@@jojosekhose2008 Yes I know this but was he stating it to be a theory or a fact?
@@nomanor7987 Check IVC script
Take my like, for showing correct Indian map.
In school I was taught an analogy between shape of india and goddess BharatMata, and jammu Kashmir is her crown
He is in the Ashoka's timeline. Whereas Sanskrit and all the other India languages are much older. He is fooling us 😞 know the truth his video is based on assumptions and theory not on real facts.
Native English people likes to do so.😡
@@Your_spanish_el_amigo You are commenting the same thing without even paying attention to what the comment is ! 😂
@@yashagrawal88 i was just concerned about what people starts to belive after the video that's why I commented.
Nice!
I am a Lankan Tamil working in the USA. I can read and write in Tamil. My co-worker is from India (working with me in the USA), with the last name Shah. Now, her mother is from West Bengal and her father is from Gujarat. Ms.Shah was born in Karnataka and went to school and college there. She is married to a guy from a Telugu family. Now she can read and write in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu and in English. Amazing right! She said she learnt most of the languages from childhood days and she was able grasp them quickly. With so much love I have towards my Tamil language, I asked her if she can learn Tamil as well ❤
Recent excavations brought to light Tamil brahmi script dating from 6th century bce and also lot of IVC script words are similar to Brahmi so histroy is not simple as you just put it😄
I heard that Indus civilization might have used Dravidian scripts
@@darknessincarnate138 yes even dravidian language used to be spoken in IVC and ivc script shows clear influences on later brahmi script interesting isn't it 🙂
@@Anshulhe I thought IVC would be more Sanskrit based, come to think of it today's Dravidian based languages could be some of the oldest spoken languages still in use
@@darknessincarnate138 true and big civilisations like IVC have more than one language so not just dravidian maybe there are few sanskrit based languages who knows. Only time can tell but nonetheless IVC dna is present in all Indians so something to celebrate as part of such a great civilization🤩
@@darknessincarnate138 Sanskrit is Indo-European language, by the time aryan nomad tribes came to India ivc was gone, the knowledge of cities were lost, it would take 500-700 years for cities to arise again in late vedic age but still wouldn't be as advanced as ivc cities with city planning and drainage system.
Super interesting ! Thanks ;) No video on YT speaks about this subject so simply ^^ Good job !
when i was looking thru my tv’s language i found the scripts of india lol
one crucial concern that it is very improbable that a dying ABJAD ARMANIC transformed suddenly to Highly complex ABUGIDA MAGADHI that too in heart of Ancient India called Magadh. Likely the MISSING LINK is HARAPPAN SCRIPT.
Aramaic wasn't dying. It only started dying at around 700 AD when the Arab Muslims invaded and forced them to speak Arabic. The missing link between how an abjad became an abugida is still under question, but it's probably that they reshaped the abjad and turned it into an abugida, like how the Greeks took an abjad and turned it into an alphabet for them to use as their own. The Brahmi script probably took a lot of influence from the Harappan script though.
Indian states are literally divided on the basis of language.
Well it's partially true. Telangana and Andhra both speak Telugu but were divided on development basis. And there's proposed states on the basis of language like Dimasa, Bodoland or Barak State but were never implement. Apparently, it's politics rather than language which decide the fate of every state...
@@jojosekhose2008 same for Maharashtra & Goa
Both state speak Marathi & Kokani but separate because different culture.
Northern state speak Hindi but there are different states for Hindi speaking as well.
So it not correct statement that Indian state division according to language basis.
@@jojosekhose2008 Telangana used to be part of Andhra Pradesh until 2014.
In rajasthan , himachal , uttarakhamd , uttar pradesh , madhya pradesh , chattisgarh , bihar everyone can speak or understand hindin
Many states are created on beographical basis too
Khanubis, your videos are always interesting. I've even subscribed to your channel, and I think all your videos are short yet accurate. May your channel continue to grow and produce more content with support from your fans like me.
1:32 I'm sorry. Chinese did evolve several types of writing style during different dynasties. From the oracle "甲骨文"to "草書", "隸書" "楷書". Even now, we got Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Even the simplified Chinese gone through several phrases. Please....
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ I didn't say India only have one writing system. So, don't worry.
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ He is in the Ashoka's timeline. Whereas Sanskrit and all the other India languages are much older. He is fooling us 😞 know the truth his video is based on assumptions and theory not on real facts.
I researched and I found his video is based on assumptions and theory about India not on real facts and sadly people are believing. What about china is his information correct?
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ all his information about India. there is nothing such as Indo-European language, actually European languages are influenced by Indian languages not India languages by Europeans and he is in Ashoka's time line, he is also speaking about Indo-Aryan languages but there is nothing as indo Aryan thing Aryan means Nobel in Sanskrit as you can see his video is base on theoris about India and not in the real facts and findings, and about findings a tamil inscripted Rock was found to be 5000 years old.
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ stop being dumb 😑 India languages are much older than any mentioned Europeans languages in his video all this inter mixing of languages are going on in Ashoka's timeline which is just 1500 -2100 years old and for your comment on Sanskrit is an Indo-European language I want to say that European languages are influenced by indian languages, but indian languages remains the same and also Sanskrit grammar is all together different and exclusive than any language in the world you you cannot just insert different words from other languages many changes requires for this, I do study Sanskrit that's how I know it.
Sinhala language comes from Odisha Bengal
According to Mahavamsa history
I'm absolutely shocked he's not even considering the Urdu Nastaliq script (in the context of India)! Also where's Punjabi's Gurumukhi (and once again, Shahmuki)? All of these are as major, if not more, than Assamese, Gujarati, Malayalam... Then less significant ones are: Tibetan, Meitei, Multani etc. Perhaps a better title would have been: _A guide to Indic scripts_ or something. Otherwise it's like making a video titled: "Why does India have so many religions" and then only addressing Hinduism (while even ignoring other mainstream indigenous religions like Buddhism)... You are only addressing half of the _indigenous_ scripts (debatable) and ignoring the reality on the ground where some others are used a lot more.
The "Pun" in Punjabi is actually pronounced like the English word *pun* .
Garhwali and kumaoni don't use devnagari. We use a version of Tankari and something else was used before that. Devnagari in pahadi languages is the result of demographic change in Terrai
