As official linguist of both Kannada and Marathi. I am categorically saying that both languages are exactly the same. There was misunderstanding for 200 years which some people thought that the languages are different and started talking with different accent. This is completely bogus as proved by my own research.
All the spelling mistakes in Kannada have now been corrected in Marathi. We are making appeal to all good minded citizens to stop using Kannada and go back to using Marathi for good. This is the original language of the state. Both states can be merged into one state and Marathi can be given importance for jobs and education.
Some Kannada jokes can be retained for historical purposes. But this matter must be approved by Govt. officials at district level.
Want to thank all the professors, public, media and other well wishers for all the support they gave for 30 years during my research to find out the truth.
