Kannadiga or Canarese/Canaresian?

The native word for Kannada people "Kannadiga" does not seem to harmonize with the soundscapes of the English language - it is as odd as saying "tamil makkal" or "tamil jana" in English - one uses what is natural to English - "Tamilian". I suggest the word "Canarese" or "Canaresian" be employed in the place of "Kannadiga" in this article (mentioning though "Kannadiga is the native word for Kannada people). ~~Naresh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.244.253 (talk) 06:35, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

The word Canarese is no longer used,this word was used by British ans Portuguese only during the colonial era.Nijgoykar (talk) 14:04, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

The people are now generally referred to as Kannadigas, and not just by these people themselves. Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me!} 09:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I am really surprised to read Wikipedia about Kannadiga section. I don't know why Kannadigas are always comparing or treating Tamil language/Tamilians in a harsh way. Afterall Tamil,Telugu,Tulu,Malayalam and Kannada are dravidian languages. We are in a single group. Dravidian language is a single language. The amount of influence of Sanskrit gave out new names such as Telugu, Tulu, Malayalam, Kannada ..etc. If for some reason Kannadigas accept that Kannada is a bye-product of Sanskrit then all Kannadigas must be Aryans? But the problem is we should also accept Mandya/Hassan Gowdas as Aryans? Will the world agree? Please do not compare Tamil with Kannada at any point of time? I would also like add one more thing? Cholas were great tamil kings, but during their time only tamil literacy level was too low; no new works were done. It is history. you cannot change it. Every one is envying tamilnadu because in all the fields/offices, you can only see black people. Backward community development is much more here in Tamilnadu. It has liberated from British with India and liberated from Brahminsm with EVR who is a Kannadiga. Todays Tamilnadu is made by EVR though he never ruled Tamilnadu like MK.Gandhi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.174.110.2 (talk) 16:28, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Non Kannadiga

There are few non-kannadigas included the list of Kannidigas. Some even featured in the info box with pics, like Nanadan Nelkini, Deepika Padukone etc. Please remove those names from the list.188.49.24.149 (talk) 08:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
