Kannada Saahithya Parishath ((カンナダ語:ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ತು)) is an Indian non-profit organisation that promotes the Kannada language. Its headquarters is in the city of Bengaluru in the state of Karnataka, India. It strives to promote Kannada language through publishing books, organising literary seminars and promoting research projects. It also organises an annual conference on Kannada literature called Kannada Sahithya Sammelana. ==Origin== During the British rule of India, Kannada speakers were spread across different provinces. Coming under the influence of different languages in those provinces, the pronunciation and grammar of Kannada language started to differ across provinces. This led to a gap in communication across the people in these provinces though they spoke the same language of Kannada.〔The origin of Kannada Sahitya Parishat is mentioned by 〕 Mokshagundam Vishweshwaraiah, who was the Diwan of the Mysore Kingdom felt the need to conserve and promote the Kannada language and literature. In this direction, he started the ''Mysore Economic Conference'' and created a study circle under H. V. Nanjundaiah. A sub-committee formed under the study circle came up with five different topics on which suggestions were invited:〔 * To develop ideas to promote unity and co-operation among Kannada speakers spread across different regions. * To develop suggestions for a common written Kannada which had diversified across different regions * To ensure that students learning Kannada language use a common text book * To improve the general knowledge among the Kannada speaking population by publishing appropriate books. * To produce appropriate Kannada translations for words used in other languages, especially the scientific words. The sub-committee received good responses from the public and it decided to organise a conference in Bangalore on 3 May 1915 to act upon these suggestions. The conference was held on the grounds of the Government High School and was attended by littérateurs, newspaper editors and other dignitaries from different regions. The conference agreed to create the ''Karnataka Sahitya Parishat'' with a mandate to conserve and promote Kannada language and literature. H. V. Nanjundaiah was unanimously elected to be the President of the Parishat.〔 Apart from the Mysore province, the Karnataka Sahitya Parishat was simultaneously started in the Madras, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kodagu provinces. 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「Kannada Sahitya Parishat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
