My script was derived from that of the 6th-century Chalukya dynasty and I am most related to Kannada (My cousin).
Like the all my cousins, I have has a series of retroflex consonants (/ḍ/, /ṇ/, and /ṭ/) that are pronounced with the tip of the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth.
Grammatical categories such as case, number, person, and tense are denoted with suffixes. Reduplication, the repetition of words or syllables to create new or emphatic meanings, is common.
