The Carnatic coast is the region of South India lying between the Eastern Ghats and the Coromandel Coast, in the modern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, south eastern Karnataka, north eastern Kerala and southern Andhra Pradesh. ==Etymology== There are several theories as to the derivation of the term. It may derive from the Sanskrit language ''karņāţakam'' from ''karņa'' = "ear" + ''aţati'' = "he pleases" = "that which pleases the ear", thus "Karnāṭaka saṃgīta" = "Karnataka music", which was coined by sarangadeva. According to Bishop Robert Caldwell, in his ''Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Languages'', the term is derived from ''kar'', black, and ''nadu'', country, i.e. the black country, which refers to the black soil prevalent on the plateau of the Southern Deccan.〔 Hattangadi Narayan Rao suggests a derivation from ''karu'', elevated, + ''nadu'', land, "an elevated land", also descriptive of the region's geography. The English "Carnatic" has been classicalised in spelling. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carnatic region」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
