I would like to congratulate the author on the good job done by him. <br /><br />Though I am from Chennai, I have been in Bangalore for about a year and have a sufficient knowledge of Kannada. Since most of my colleagues are from the Dakshina Kannada region, I can also understand one or two words of tulu. I found close similarities between Tamil and Kannada. Though there aren't so many similarities between tamil and tulu, I observed that Tulu retained some authentic Dravidian words and roots that Kannada had lost. For example, the Tulu word for house is the Dravidian "illu" (Tamil/Malayalam: "illam") as oppposed to the Indo-Aryan "mane". Tulu also retained the words starting with "pa-" which in Kannada gets transformed to "ha-"<br /><br />Interesting, there is a Tamil word 'Piragu' meaning 'after'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-56032244581789298602008-12-25T11:20:00.000+05:302008-12-25T11:20:00.000+05:30Dear G.BangeraWelcome to the blog!Wish you browse ...Dear G.Bangera<BR/>Welcome to the blog!<BR/>Wish you browse through rest of the posts in blog also to visualize some of my concepts on human migration as applied to Tulu people.<BR/>Some points I would like to pose before you here for further revaluation.<BR/>1. All the present 2 million Tulu people now living in Tulunad need not be construed as directed descendants of emigrants from Pirak. Even if we visualize ten families arriving from Pirak some 3000 years ago would grow into lakhs.<BR/>2. Both land and sea routes from Pirak to Tulunad are possible.There are relict evidences in the form of language and words on land route also.<BR/>3.There were numerous pre-Tulu tribes with their own set of languages before Tulu tribes arrived on the scene.<BR/>4. One more pre-Pirak phase probably Ethiopian/African can also be dlineated for Tulu tribes.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-64767829752790397202008-12-23T17:46:00.000+05:302008-12-23T17:46:00.000+05:30I deduced that Tulu tribes subsequently migrated f...I deduced that Tulu tribes subsequently migrated from Pirak to coastal Karnataka through what are now known as States of <BR/>Rajasthan,Gujarat Madhya Pradesh and Maharastra.<BR/><BR/> I disagree with this and my logical answer goes like this,<BR/><BR/>1. Tulu tribes left their native (whatever it is) and came by sea, to costal Karnataka area by accidentally or purposely.<BR/>2. If I take this accidentally then they might have migrated due to natural disaster or looking for asylum <BR/>3. If I say purposely then they know the location and they are here for war, to defeat some kingdom .<BR/><BR/><BR/>why I disagree with your theory is, today tulu population is more than 2 million. so first migration at least had ten thousand people(10,000).<BR/><BR/>If they migrated from pirak to costal Karnataka by land by such a large number it’s pathetic , no imagination of destination and divided and subdivided into many groups and should have spread all over India and presence of Tulu language felt in many Indian language. <BR/><BR/>The way tulu people defeated the Portuguese (European navy was cunning, modern and knowledgeable ) navy shows that thier deep knowledge about sea war.<BR/><BR/>“aal” when Tulu Tribes migrated from piraka coastal to costal Karnataka as a sailor it is possible to maintain naturally well built body “aal”<BR/><BR/>If they migrated by land it is not at all possible to maintain their body Because land route was unbelievable and migration time would have been 50 to 500 years.<BR/><BR/>G BangeraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-62261384265622209702008-12-03T06:57:00.000+05:302008-12-03T06:57:00.000+05:30Dr Srivatsa, welcome to the blog.Please feel free ...Dr Srivatsa, welcome to the blog.Please feel free to share your thoughts with our fellow readers.Do write about those talipatra pages.Ravindra Mundkurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073231068374498281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842465514699048204.post-42850564167472282592008-12-02T13:44:00.000+05:302008-12-02T13:44:00.000+05:30Brilliant work, I have some old talipatra pages wi...Brilliant work, I have some old talipatra pages with tulu script.
