Beary vs Tulu vs Malayalam vs Kodava | Can South Indians Understand Each Other? (Part 2)

Can Beary, Tulu, Malayalam, and Kodava speakers understand each other and Dravidian languages such as Gondi, Brahui, Kurukh, Kui, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and others? In this episode we showcase some of the similarities and test the degree of mutual intelligibility between Tulu, Beary, Malayalam, and Kodava. Instead of a list of words and sentences, Abdul Rahiman (Beary speaker), Prithuesh (Kodava speaker), Mayoor (Tulu speaker), and Vivek (Malayalam speaker) will each read statements/paragraphs in their respective languages to see how well they can understand one another.

Dravidian languages are primarily spoken in southern India and northern Sri Lanka, with smaller numbers elsewhere. There are many Dravidian languages and their roots go back to ancient times. Telugu (తెలుగు), Tamil (தமிழ்), Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) and Malayalam (മലയാളം) are the Dravidian languages with the most speakers. Other Dravidian languages with large populations include Tulu (ತುಳು / തുളു), Gondi (గోండీ), Brahui (براهوئی), which is spoken in the Balochistan region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Kurukh (குடுக்கு / কুড়ুখ / କୁଡ଼ୁଖ), Beary (ಬ್ಯಾರಿ ಬಾಸೆ), Kui (କୁଇ), Kodava (ಕೊಡವ), Koya (కోయా / କୋୟା / कोया), and many others.
Just like their languages, the culture and history of Dravidian people is very ancient. Going back to the third century BCE, many Dravidian empires began to form and have a major amount influence outside the region linguistically and culturally. Empires such as the Chera, Chola, Pandyan, Chutu, Rashtrakuta, Vijayanagara, Pallava, Chalukya, Hoysala, and Kingdom of Mysore. The cultural influence extended to southeast Asia and locally developed scripts such as Grantha and Pallava script induced the development of many native scripts such as Khmer, Javanese Kawi, Baybayin, and Thai. Dravidian culture is unique and can be visibly noticed through traditional clothing, cuisine, music, architecture, literature, and much more. Although each region in South India will have it own distinct forms, there are similarities that can be found all across. For instance, similarities in the cuisines include the presence of rice as a staple food, the use of lentils and spices, dried red chilies and fresh green chilies, coconut, and native fruits and vegetables including tamarind, plantain, snake gourd, garlic, and ginger.
Dravidian languages have long literary traditions, with Tamil having the earliest recorded ones. Tamil literature has a classical tradition of its own which is very rich and spans more than two thousand years. Among the many historical works, the five Tamil epics Jivaka-chintamani, Cilappatikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi and Valayapathi are together known as The Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature. The earliest known literary work in Malayalam is Ramacharitam, an epic poem written by Cheeraman. The Kannada language is usually divided into three linguistic phases: Old (450-1200 CE), Middle (1200-1700 CE) and Modern (1700-present) and its literary characteristics are categorized as Jain, Lingayatism and Vaishnava-recognizing the prominence of these three faiths in giving form to classical expression of the language, until the advent of the modern era. Telugu literature also contains many masterpieces, including historical ones such as Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu (Pothana Bhagavatam) by Pothana (బమ్మెర పోతన), Basava Purana, Panditaradhya charitra, Malamadevipuranamu and Somanatha Stava by Palkuriki Somanatha, Sumati Satakam by Baddena Bhupaludu, Kanyasulkam by Gurajada Apparao, Gayopakhyanam by Chilakamarti Lakshmi Narasimham, and many others!
All in all, Dravidian languages and people have a very rich history. The modern conception of the Proto-Dravidian language, which is based on reconstruction, is believed to have been spoken in the 4th millennium BCE, and began forming into various branches around the 3rd millennium BCE.

Fun fact: The native speakers of all these 4 languages can be found in an area of less than 6,000 sq kilometers (Native Malayalam speakers can be found in the entire state of Kerala, ) . Meaning The districts of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada is Octa- Lingual : Tulu, Kannada, Beary, Konkani, Malayalam, Kodava, English and Hindi. Your average joe in this district can speak atleast 3 languages but usually people are familiar with 5 languages and we use them in our everyday life, causally switching between languages.

22:53 the sentence in Kodava language shows an interesting mix of similarities to Tamil, Telugu and Sanskrit. 'Naada' - 'mine' is similar to 'naadhu' in Telugu 'Grew up' - 'bolandiye' - 'valandhen' in (spoken) Tamil Sanskrit influences in 'moolataha', etc. Of course the Kannada and Malayalam similarities are clear, and is the point of discussion in the video.

[@guruprasad_manjunatha]

I'm a big fan of everything you do on this channel, Bahador. As a speaker of 3 Dravidian languages (Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil), I was so excited to see you bring together three low-profile and often ignored South Indian languages (Tulu, Kodava, and Beary). Unfortunately, the video ended up being a bit of a disappointment. I don't intend to come off as overly negative, but I want to list a few issues that I hope will be construed as positive feedback: 1. The Beary speaker did not appear to understand the purpose of this exercise. He did not allow the other participants to guess the meaning of the sentences since he immediately provided the English translation. 2. There was no pre-determined order in which the participants spoke. This meant that everyone ended up speaking over each other and the end result was a jumbled, chaotic mess. 3. The Malayalam speaker kept interrupting the other participants and did not allow them to express their thoughts satisfactorily. I don't think it was his intention to interrupt them, but his enthusiasm to speak and the terrible lag in his internet connection contributed to the confusion. 4. The Kodava speaker ended up being sidelined and underrepresented. It would have been ideal if everyone spoke in turns and attempted to guess the meaning of a sentence and then also provide the equivalent translation in their language once the meaning was made apparent. I think all participants here are very knowledgeable and interesting people. I am sure I would have a great conversation with all of them if I met them in real life, since I share their passion and interest for the languages they represent. I only wish the video were a little more organised and a little less choatic. Best wishes from Bangalore, South India :)

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you for the feedback. I understand! I was trying to continue with the flow of the previous video I made with 4 Dravidian languages together. There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. I'm just happy all the participants had a great time.

[@EagleOverTheSea]

[@guruprasad_manjunatha]

[@johnutube5651]

As a Malayalam speaker I agree with you. I would have enjoyed if a little more explanation from the Tulu speaker. It somehow sounds like coming from a much anicient past. By the way I speak Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, and watch lot of content in Telugu, understands most of it, I can read it with bit of difficulty.

[@microworldmysteries9150]

Just because I had taken Kannada as my second language in school, I had a chance to learn the language in detail from it's oldest to the newest form. This has really aided me in understanding all major Dravidian languages to a minimum of 50%. I speak Kannada and Telugu fluently. Many people may, for example, not find a word similar to the Kannada 'hottu' in the other Dravidian languages. However, on thorough understanding, we realise that cognates do exist in the other languages. Taking the same word: Old Kannada: Pozhtu(poḻtu) Middle Kannada: Portu/Pottu Modern Kannada: Hottu Tamil: Pozhutu (poḻutu) Malayalam: Pozhutu (poḻutu) Telugu: Proddu Tulu: Portu Also, words which start with a 'v' sound in Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu, usually start with 'b' in Tulu and Kannada. There are many more common letter changes/switches that occur. Basic understanding like this does help in learning other Dravidian languages quicker.

We only hear of majority languages (that have been given States) at the expense of all other languages.

[@abc_cba]

@@alani3992 I know about plenty of languages spoken in India, actually, there are two videos which actually show how enforced Hindi is even destroying the other languages in the so called "Hindi Belt" of India. Did you know there are languages in Bihar which are actually being threatened by Hindi for example, these: Angika Bhojpuri Bajjika Bote-Darai Danwar Kumhali Magahi Maithili Sadanic Tharuic Then in Rajasthan these are the languages that are being threatened: Bagri Gade Lohar Gujari Dhatki Malvi Wagdi Hadothi Lambadi Loarki Nimadi Ahirani Same goes for my state of Maharashtra which has around 32-40 dialects of Marathi but the formal Marathi is considered elite and say for example, Varhadi dialect and Zadhipata Dialect of my region of Vidarbha are considered as backword and rural, so, even those speakers find the formal(aka Puneri Marathi) a little difficult to speak and feel ashamed to speak their native publicly, I have witnessed that myself when around such people. The thing is major languages as you said are actually considered to be the prototype and undermine the minor ones, which I think is wrong as we a diverse country and we shouldn't let our languages perish. Sanskrit being one example, there are less speakers of Sanskrit today than say Aramaic(a language that's not even taught in schools in Iraq and Syria) still has around a million or two speakers even today, though in various dialects.

[@GowthamVivek]

After watching this Video, simply I can say all in one word, all are "Western Ghats People", it Starts from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu. We can see the changes and diluted form of words From Gujarat to Tamil Nadu. Suddenly many will think Gujarati, Marathi and Konkani are Indo Aryan or European Languages, how come these come under Dravidian Group?, the fact is Present Gujarat and Present Maharashtra (with Konkan) were mostly under the domination or rule of invaders comparatively with others due to that Language changes or differences happened, but we could find many relative or similar words presently with Dravidian Family. The main role player was "Sanskrit" which mixed with and changed a single language (different dialects) within whole region to Many languages. Till day with least mix but with no changes there is a purest form sustaining, in Down South of India, that language is "Tamil".

I am from Mangalore and I can understand a bit of words from original Telugu words and original Tamil/ Malayalam words which are not of pure Sanskrit origin. But this may only because during the last 2000 years we have been part of kingdoms which are of different natives such as Rashtrakutas Kadambas, Housalas, Pandya/Chera or Malabar which made it possible to intermix words.

It was interesting for me that the Abdul Rahiman who is speaking Beary is Muslim because I thought South Indian languages not native to any Muslim community

[@jaganshri]

Beary (or byari) means trade in local language. 'Byari bhasha' means 'Traders' language', and may have originated as a 'creole' used by folks involved in early Malabar-Arab sea trade. The Beary community is one of the earliest Muslim communities in India going back to 700s CE - even earlier than Islam in North India. In a sense, it can be considered to be the 'Urdu of the Malabar coast'

[@mahadevkidas3522]

Dude, Malayalam is a native muslim language and so do Tamil. 90% of all Muslims living in Kerala speaks Malayalam, Urdu is alien here, Arabic is more popular among Muslims in Kerala than Persian, Urdu or Turkish. Muslim community in Kerala and Coastal Karnataka are related to Arab trading community. They came here peacefully and not via conquest or converting local population by sword. Muslims came here even before Malayalam was formed, Muslims came here at 600 AD...

[@gautampram]

There are tamil Muslims, Malayali Muslims. These Muslim communities are the oldest in India

[@rishabhrox1]

South Indians (Dravidians) actually got introduced to Islam earlier to the Northern part of India. The Indian state of Kerala has the oldest mosque to exist in the entirety of the Indian Subcontinent. However it is true that Dravidians are culturally (regardless of religion) closer to their roots of Dravidian folk religion and Hinduism, unlike North India where Persianate culture gave the population a different heritage altogether.

@@mahadevkidas3522 Malayalam language is spoken by the Hindu, Muslim & Christian communities of Kerala. Before the arrival of Islam, Christian belief existed in Kerala. Thus Malayalam is not a Muslim language. More than 90 % of the scholars of Malayalam are from the Hindu community. But the Beary language is spoken exclusively by the Muslim community.

I for one found the guy spoke Malayalam very annoying. Half the time he mix up the languages suppose!

[@kvsantappu8135]

I'm an Aryan from Kerala and I strongly believe that Malayalam is more closely related to Sanskrit. It was classically developed by the Aryan settlers with the help of Sanskrit which is also called Devabhasa ❤

[@ren_tvp7091]

What u mean by the word 'Aryan', belongs from a Brahmin community? The vernacular fiom of Malayalam contains more than 90% Dravidian words closer to Tamil. Only the higher vocabulary contains plenty of Sankrit loan words. When we conduct a scrutny over the so called Sanskrit words, we realise that most of them are originated form Tamil/ Prakrit words. An example (by my opinion) is :- Chithram (Picture) = Cheettiya + Niram (ie, Sprayed + Colour) = Cheett + iram = Chittitam, then Chithram.

[@kvsantappu8135]

@@ren_tvp7091 Prakrith is the ancestor of Sanskrit. It literally means something raw in nature. Sanskrit means cultured or purified. I belong to the Kshatriya varna of the Aryan race. My ancestors probably came from the North in 800 BC and settled in Kerala.

Keralites should avoid participation in such discussions. Malayalam is a major world language, and is one of the six languages regarded as Classical by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. It has got a thriving book and music publishing industry, a movie industry regarded as one of the finest in India, a flourishing print media, and a competitive television industry. Leading print media publications in Malayalam from the stable of the Malayala Manorama Group and Mathrubhumi Group are among the largest in India in their respective categories. This is not the situation of Tulu, Kodava, and Beary which are often written using the scripts of other languages. The challenges faced by these languages in their evolution have to be sorted out by people who speak these languages as their mother tongue. Participation in such debates runs the risk of Malayalam being mistaken as one of the lesser south Indian languages. So, while Keralites wish them all the best and are willing to extend any and every help to speakers of Kodava, Tulu, and Beary, they should avoid getting into situations which can be misinterpreted.

[@RohanRavindraNanthoor]

Isn’t Malayalam the one that’s using a whole other script which was used by Tulu back then? And mind you, Tulu is older than Malayalam. And Tulu did have a script back then.

It's nothing about stealing, but influence of neighbouring Launguages, since beary means traders, so they made up a Launguage to do trade secrets and maintain a tradeing monopoly in the society
