Kannada...
"Kannada, or Kanarese, the anglicized form of the name, is spoken
by about 24 million people throughout Mysore State, along the
western shores of the Indian subcontinent.   (It is the mother tongue
of only about three quarters of that number.)   There is a wealth

of ancient and modern Kannada literature, in which regional
dialectal variation was evident until recently.   Badaga, Kodagu,
and Kurumba are sometimes termed dialects of Kannada.
Although bearing closer linguistic affinities to Tamil than to
Telugu, Kannada is written in a script that differs little from the
Telugu character."
