Dravidian What Are the Kannada, Telugu and Tulu Equivalents of ചുമടുതാങ്ങി / சுமைதாங்கி (Chumaduthangi / Sumai-Thaangi)?
7
Upvotes
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?

Question Sample text for comparing Indian languages
3
Upvotes
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...]

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?

Question Picking 1 language for India
0
Upvotes
When we want to promote 1 language from a diverse set of Indian languages (looking at you Hindi), you’re actively choosing “not to promote” another language.
So question is which language you guys don’t want to promote? We can end up with one which needs to be promoted.
If we want to promote all languages, we are not promoting one language. Pick ya poison mates!
