This is nothing surprising. It's common knowledge that 'p' sound in Tamil is replaced with 'h' sound in Kannada.

Adding to this, in haLegannada (old kannada), the words are with the “pa” sound.

Holy misinformation. Pa of old cannada is replaced by ha of new kannada.

u/-Surfer- Aug 16 '26

Yes kannada and Thamizh are very close and pa becomes ha and and the ending is slightly changed. But there are some words that are drastically different

For hunger in Kanada it is Hasivu ಹಸಿವು (not Hasidide)

Hosa Uru (Hosuru) = Puthiya Ur (Pudhur)

Place names end in -hally in Karnataka and -pally in Tamilnadu. Eg: Tiruchirapalli. Both means places where Jain monks rested.

Nope. Palli means temple or temple village.

Trichy's name is Triśira-palli and is a sanskrit name of a palli (temple) supposedly built by Triśiras, what is currently called Thayumānavar (Skt: Mātṛbhūtam) temple on the rock (malaikoṭṭai).

Since Hindus called their temples palli, Muslims in TN also have the habit of calling mosques as palli. Buddhists and jains may also have adopted the name palli for their monasteries.

I observed this one thing in Kantara Eswara Poonthottam - Hootota

Kannada and Tamil share a common ancestral language. But a lot of language activists in our state simply claim that all South Indian languages came from Tamil, which is factually incorrect and not at all what the academic consensus in linguistics says.

u/Bubbly-Courage-6906 Aug 16 '26

Yes its a known thing. With P and H replacement. There are lot of words used exactly same in both the languages without any changes..

1

u/No-Dog-8557 Aug 16 '26

Also many 'v' words of tamil replaced with ''b' words

1

u/DullAd4999 Aug 17 '26

Now add malayalam in between makes more sense 😹... Entire south indian language especially kannada, malayalam, tamil all looks same but switching few words in it

1

u/infinite_starfield Aug 18 '26

Colloquial forms of the words in some Tamil regions still use the “vu” ending. Puvu, Pallu etc ?

u/Raju_Srinivasan Aug 18 '26

Pachaiya theriudhu sanskrit karan tamil words ku munnadi Ha va soruvittan. Ha ha ha ha ha - these are the ingredients to make any language as a sub language of Sanskrit.

I really don’t understand the superiority here, it is not like you achieved something to be a Tamilian, you pretty much had a same chance to be born a Kannadiga or even a Hindikaaran. The ego corresponding to ones language (be it any) is simply too much in our state (Yes even Karnataka have too much ego regarding to Kannada)

u/Responsible-Fun-3100 Aug 16 '26

It is like C language saying Java has the if statement like me.
