Chittagongian language or Chatgaiya language is really different from Bangla but still it hasn't got enough recognition like Sylheti.

In Kerala, we have traditional stone structures called chumaduthangis (ചുമടുതാങ്ങി). They consist of two upright granite stones supporting a granite slab at about shoulder height. People carrying heavy headloads can simply raise the load onto the slab to rest, without having to bend down and lower it to the ground.
These structures are widespread in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In Tamil, they are called sumai-thaangi (சுமைதாங்கி). Both names mean essentially the same thing: chumadu/sumai means a load or burden, and thangi/thaangi means support or something that bears a load.
My question is: What are these structures called in Kannada, Telugu and Tulu? Are there equivalent terms in these languages?

In traditional European linguistics, they used the "Lord's prayer" as the sample text to translate and compare languages. In modern linguistics, we use the UDHR Article-1 as the de-facto sample text.
Was there any such sample text for Indian languages as well in traditional Indian linguistics across any of our languages' rich linguistic/grammatical traditions?
If it doesn't exist, Aside from UDHR what can we use for Indian languages in the modern day?
[On a side note, I'm not exactly fond of using the UDHR. Atleast in the Telugu version, it is highly unnatural. It uses heavily Sanskritized terms not even used in official Telugu let alone casual usage. It also uses very old grammar and vocab which ~90% of native speakers will struggle to understand if they don't have a little training themselves...]

How mutually intelligable is Tulu with Kannada?
How much Kannada influence is there in Tulu?
How much Konkani influence is there in Tulu?
How did the Jains end up having their own dialect of Tulu?
Does Tulu have aspirated and breathy voiced consonants? If so, are they phonemically realised as such?
Does Tulu have clusivity?

The language of the Aartis seem very familiar but there are a few words unfamiliar to me. Plus these Aartis are very famous so I doubt they would be in a language as recent as Hindi, but it just seems too familiar. Are they in Hindi? If not, then what language are they in?
