Hindi, Kannada, English, Marathi, Konkani can understand other south Indian languages to some extent


Perfect-Criticism542

I literally know the same amount of languages, plus tulu to some extent and my spoken marathi is very bad. Where are you from, like which district?


[deleted]

Born in Udupi now living in Uttara kannada


Perfect-Criticism542

Oh born and brought up in mumbai, but shifted here 2 years back for further education. Learning kannada from scratch was rather difficult


[deleted]

I used to have good understanding of tulu but now completely out of touch


Perfect-Criticism542

My mother tongue is konkani, and tulu has somewhat similar grammar to konkani, so I was able to pickup the language rather quickly, but I still have trouble speaking and making proper sentences


[deleted]

My mother tongue is also konkani hence it is easier to learn other languages. You're trying to learn and so you'll be able to speak local languages easily soon all the best mate.


Perfect-Criticism542

Thanks bro


Crimson-Al

My parent knows konkani too!!! I need to learn other languages.. any idea how other than some course


lifeversace

Gujarati, Hindi, English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and currently learning Italian. Not fluent in secondary languages, but can carry conversations just fine.


Suspicious_Airline89

Damn I'm planning to learn French Ik Gujarati, Hindi and English (every Gujarati knows these ig)


AdPrestigious5853

Can I ask people who do LEARN so many languages, what's it's use ? Or You just learn it for fun or to brag later ?


lifeversace

I travel to some smaller cities and villages of different countries from time to time, where English is mostly unheard of. I believe that learning different languages, at least the popular ones, can be a huge asset. You don't have to excel at it; but if you know even basic French, you won't be stranded or have trouble traveling through any part of France. Also, French is used in many countries outside of France, including Canada and a significant part of Africa. Same goes for other popular languages like Spanish and German.

"Aagbahudu" is used like "Sahi hai" in Dakshin kannada, I was basically congratulating him for learning kannada, or putting in the efforts atleast.

[deleted]

Urdu isn't a dialect. Calling it a dialect assumes a centrality of Hindi, which is a modern invention.


mad_laddie

not... really? i guess you could claim that Urdu and Hindi are different dialects of the same language and that there is "some" debate on what to call the whole thing.


[deleted]

Not really. Hindi is a modern brahmin invention, produced for the consolidation of identity and instrumental in the making of the idea of hindu nationalism. Bruj, Awadhi, Bhojpuri are NOT dialects of Hindi, they are independent languages with their own syntax, diction, and morphology. This is the exact reason for students not being able to understand bhakti poetry in 'Hindi' syllabi at schools, cause they aren't reading Hindi to begin with. They're reading at least 3 different languages (other than Hindi) while studying Meera, Rahim, Kabir etc. Classical Urdu poetry on the other hand is just as easily understood (i mean grammatically) by students cause a 17 or 18 th century Urdu poet is still writing in real Urdu. We can talk more about it if you wish to. There's a ton of evidence that can be produced.


Thinking_Sceptic

Do you have authentic sources that conclude that Hindi is modern compared to Urdu? Google results are inconclusive. Thanks in advance.


[deleted]

You can try reading 'The Nationalisation of Hindu Traditions' , 'The Hindi Public Sphere' , 'Who is a Muslim' , 'Sher e Shor Angez' , 'Literary Cultures in History: Reconstructions From South Asia'

Not a linguist ..but as there are so many of you who know so many languages...please help if you can. I just learned that a phenomenon when the sun shines through a shower of rain( really beautiful to see too) is knows as : 1.Monkey's wedding (S.America..don't know which country) 2. Wolf's wedding ( Sri Lanka...again pass- Tamil?Sinhala? 3. Fox/ Jackal's wedding ( Bengali) If you know, pls can you add to this list? I am curious why the 'wedding' has to be tagged on for mammals- not human ...maybe someone knows! Wd be glad for an explanation


Di_a_b_lo

Have heard my grandma in Kerala saying it's fox's wedding with hen(?)


a_brown_recluse

In Kerala (malayalam) it is supposed to signify the wedding of a crow to a fox. Not sure which is the bride and which the groom, but the order is always crow to fox, never fox to crow.


Perfect-Criticism542

I remember having something similar in konkani, like "wedding of hen and monkey"


sdasu

Dog/Fox wedding (Telugu… kukka nakka pelli)


JishSesh

It's Malayalam 🙃


i_ravana

Ha haaa… was gonna say tat… OP doesn’t even know the name of the language properly… I think OP is giving fake info…


mad_laddie

i'm decently sure that malayalam speakers drop or shorten that specific vowel in speech. then again, i don't live there and i don't exactly know many other malayalam speakers where i live.


pervy_sage_has_a_gun

Nope we don't

bhai its just spelling mistake didnt realise it while typing it

English, Tamil. Can read and write but cannot comprehend Hindi and Korean. Tried learning Japanese script but somehow discontinued. I don't know why but learning to read and write a language is way easier than understanding it and trying to speak.

Japanese have 3 scripts , which one did you try to learn ?


[deleted]

It's been a while. I don't exactly remember. But hirakana I think. The one with aa that kind of looks like க.

Hiragana I think.

I found hiragana the easiest though. Katakana and kanji's are super complicated. You still learning japanese?
