New Delhi: Twitter was filled with anger and rage as google search of ‘ugliest language of India’ showed Kannada as the result. This has started a big debate on the micro-blogging site as on the other hand, Google has named Kannada as the ‘Queen of languages in the world’. This double standard has left the Kannadigas confused as to what Google really thinks of their beloved language.
Speaking to TV9 Kannada Digital, President of Kannada Development Authority, TS Nagabharana said, “We have got into the legal battle over this issue. Legal notice sent to Google condemning Kannada. Humiliation of one another in terms of ground, water, language and culture cannot be tolerated. Clearly this is some kind of systematic conspiracy. Kannadigars, the moods of the Kannada language, are ambushed to create such an opportunity. It is not our job to resist. Instead, these types of events must be kept in check. Kannadigas opined that we should not shy away from even the smallest issues that affect us.”

Been seeing many posts regarding google showing ugliest language is kannada. We respect our language and our language is the oldest language which is 2500 years (aprox) old. So requesting my dear #kannadaigas to type out Queen of languages in the world. It shows #Kannada pic.twitter.com/Lw6oGocjxO

Home to the great Vijayanagara Empire, #Kannada language has a rich heritage, a glorious legacy and a unique culture. One of the world’s oldest languages Kannada had great scholars who wrote epics much before Geoffrey Chaucer was born in the 14th century. Apologise @GoogleIndia. pic.twitter.com/Xie927D0mf

Kannada doesn’t belong to Kannadiga’s alone, it belongs to South India,we Tamils may have differences with Kannadiga but they are our brothers and we will support Kannada, many Tamils live in Karnataka and many Kannadigas live in Tamil Nadu #Kannada
