Ever wondered where did ಠ_ಠ come from? It's from my native language called Kannada. ಠ is pronounced as Ta

That's elegant

Some more letters

@AlexDeLarge Kannada is a separate language. Those ~20 are constitutionally recognised languages. Other than that, people speak like a thousand languages.

This looks so curly. I love it.

I thought your language has an earth symbol :D

@shb743 I'm currently in Bangalore. Not a native Bangalorean though.

I believe it's actually spelled Canada*

@simpleJack it's not that simple

It's actually pronounced 'tah'.
There's another word for 'ta'

Ta_Ta

Nope. Never wondered.

Where did you get that from ?

So that and an underscore. Would that mean it's pronounced Ta_Ta? 😂

@codepoet I'm in Bangalore and not from Bangalore too 😋
Also google keyboard has an excellent option of typing in English and converting to Kannada.

@tilde I've been using K.P.Rao/Nudi layout for years and I'm very familiar with it. So, I use JustKannada keyboard on Android.

@CallMeAny which keyboard? Go has it, as do a few others

Not sure why it didn't attach

@CallMeAny you got umlauts on Fleksy? How?

@1989 I had created an IME for Windows and mapped keys as follows,
ta (ಟ), Ta(ಠ), da(ಡ), Da(ಢ), Na(ಣ),
tha(ತ), Tha(ಥ), dha(ದ), Dha(ಧ), na(ನ)
Then I switched to KaGaPa/Nudi/K.P.Rao layout since it requires less key strokes to get each letter/word. That layout is phonetically not correct as "q" produces "ಟ" and "w" gets you "ಡ". But it is much quicker to type once you get used to it

On a related note, have you ever wondered where ღ and ლ come from? The letters can often be seen on smileys outside of their usual usage. They are letters in Georgian language. ღ is pronounced like the French „R/r“ and ლ is a plain L/l. ღ is often likened to a heart and ლ to a wing, so in case of smileys, they are used that way.

@ponsfrilus I wanted to write this 🤣

Anyone interested to code in Kannada? 🤣

@kabhishek
ಒಂದುವೇಳೆ(a > b) {
ತೋರಿಸು("%d ದೊಡ್ಡದು", a);
}
ಅಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ {
ತೋರಿಸು("%d ದೊಡ್ಡದು", b);
}

what a beautiful language

@CozyPlanes

It is, but I personally prefer sharp fantasy-style lettering. Though, that's obviously a personal preference.

@CozyPlanes

I'm thinking about creating my own style of handwriting thats unique to me, inspired by fantasy witchcraft-like lettering. :3

I might even turn it into a font~

@AlexDeLarge

It would just be a fantasy play on english characters for me to use in everyday life (and my signature).

@codepoet Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu are all just derivatives of Tamil

Indians and bengali sure have a lot of "wierd" alphabets
