Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) is a Dravidian language, from the language family of South India, spoken in Karnataka, where it is the official language. It is written in the Kannada script: its letters are round and close relatives of Telugu letters, as both come from the same older script. About 4.4 crore (44 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
Odia (ଓଡ଼ିଆ) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in Odisha, where it is the official language. It is written in the Odia script: most letters have a rounded, umbrella-like curve on top. About 3.8 crore (38 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
