Canarese ( ಕನ್ನಡ ) is one of the oldest languages in whole of the World which is still used . [1]
Ancient Canarese
Canarese may have been used from the time when Harappan civilization began.[2] The language of Harappans and Dravidians may have been same. The south Indian Proto-Dravidian language may have evolved from Harappan language.[citation needed] So the Canarese language may be approximately 4500 years old.[citation needed]

Macronic Canralish
Etymology
'Canaralish' is from two English words: 'Canarese' and 'English'. Canarese is the English form of the name of the language, 'ಕನ್ನಡ' . As it is a macronic language it is the mixture of the name of two languages, 'ಕನ್ನಡ' and 'English' from which it has been evolved.
Origin
When British had conquered 'ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ' where Canarese was much used, English had an influence on this language which evolved it into Canaralish.
Speakers
This language is much used by people living in ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ where it has been evolved from the two languages much used there.
State
This macronic language has almost taken the place of Canarese which was before used there.
Time
It was used from about 1800 when English had an influence on Canarese.
