@AlexDeLarge Kannada is a separate language. Those ~20 are constitutionally recognised languages. Other than that, people speak like a thousand languages.

tilde31727y@codepoet I'm in Bangalore and not from Bangalore too 😋
Also google keyboard has an excellent option of typing in English and converting to Kannada. -
@tilde I've been using K.P.Rao/Nudi layout for years and I'm very familiar with it. So, I use JustKannada keyboard on Android.

@1989 I had created an IME for Windows and mapped keys as follows,
ta (ಟ), Ta(ಠ), da(ಡ), Da(ಢ), Na(ಣ),
tha(ತ), Tha(ಥ), dha(ದ), Dha(ಧ), na(ನ)
Then I switched to KaGaPa/Nudi/K.P.Rao layout since it requires less key strokes to get each letter/word. That layout is phonetically not correct as "q" produces "ಟ" and "w" gets you "ಡ". But it is much quicker to type once you get used to it -
On a related note, have you ever wondered where ღ and ლ come from? The letters can often be seen on smileys outside of their usual usage. They are letters in Georgian language. ღ is pronounced like the French „R/r“ and ლ is a plain L/l. ღ is often likened to a heart and ლ to a wing, so in case of smileys, they are used that way.

It is, but I personally prefer sharp fantasy-style lettering. Though, that's obviously a personal preference. -

I'm thinking about creating my own style of handwriting thats unique to me, inspired by fantasy witchcraft-like lettering. :3
I might even turn it into a font~ -

It would just be a fantasy play on english characters for me to use in everyday life (and my signature).
