Jaanapada is a word made by two words ''Jana'' - People or tribe ''Pada'' - a kind of short verse joined together as a sandhi- a grammatical term. The folk culture and colloquial tongue of Kannadiga and probably Telugu people were known by this name from time the languages came into existence. ==The Tongue== * Proverbial ''Gaade'' which has a famous saying in Kannada as ''Veda sulladaru Gaade sullagadu'' -meaning even if Vedas are proved wrong practically, Gaade can never go wrong. * Small songs which are sung on every occasion like marriage, festival, travel and most importantly on every work done mostly from harvest to cooking. * Religious ''pada'' like those of ''Dasa Saahitya'' and ''Vachana Saahitya'' and probably even the literature of Guru shishya tradition which is known to only be passed through ears and not on papers can be put into this broad term. Shishunala Shareefa,Purandara Dasa, Kanaka Dasa, Sarvajna stand at top as wandering saints. In practice the language of people since the time it developed in India can be attributed as Jaanapada as dialects varied from place to place greatly. Hence before the languages developed a script for themselves Jaanapada was the term used to denote the language spoken. Even now all languages or rather dialects of South India don't have script of their own and not very conservative of grammar and which ever language does have seems to carefully amalgamate from the folk languages and their words reaching a finesse. 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「Jaanapada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
