I know, Google bad, genocidal scumbags, but I guess this counts as a small victory for our people.

Unicode 16.0 is on the way, and the scripts will soon be out on every device. Fuck Kannada imposition.

    Unfortunately, here’s the situation - Google Translate for Tulu uses Kannada script, which I can’t read, and which I’ll not be learning, because…reasons. I’d rather learn the modernized script based on the original Tulu-Tigalari script.

    Here’s a popular Tulu proverb idiom, which is really funny imo (I had to transliterate this from English to Kannada, so there may be some mistakes):

    ಪೀ ಬನ್ನಗ ಬಿತ್ತ್ ನಾಡುನ

    (pī bann-naga bithth nadúnā)

    Translation

    When translated literally, it means “Searching for the seeds, when you’re pooping”. What it means is that you shouldn’t wait till you’re screwed.
