Proto-Kannada is said to have evolved after separating from its source around c. 1500 BCE, while its script evolved during Ashokan times around the 4th or 3rd century BCE from ancient Brahmi. Halegannada ((カンナダ語:ಹಳೆಗನ್ನಡ)) is the Kannada language which has transformed from the 5th century CE during the reign of the Kadambas of Banavasi (ancient royal dynasty of Karnataka 345−525 CE).〔(【引用サイトリンク】OurKarnataka.com: History of Karnataka: Kadambas of Banavasi )〕 The Modern Kannada language has evolved in four phases over the years. From the Purva Halegannada in the 5th century (as per early epigraphic records), to the Halegannada (Old Kannada) between the 9th and 14th century, the Nadugannada (Middle Kannada) between the 14th and 18th century, it has evolved to the present day Hosagannada (Modern Kannada) from 1800 to present. Hosagannada (Modern Kannada) is the official language of the state of Karnataka and is one of the 22 official national languages of the Republic of India and is the native language of approximately 89% of Karnataka's population. Evolution: Proto Kannada > Pre Old Kannada > Old Kannada > Middle Kannada > New Kannada ==Etymology== Halegannada is derived from two Kannada terms, ''hale'' and ''Kannada''. ''Hale'', a prefix in Kannada language, means old or ancient. In Kannada grammar there are sandhis in which while pronouncing two words in combined form, the ka becomes ga (aadesha sandhi) and so Hale and Kannada together becomes HaleGannada. 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「Old Kannada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
