Learning

For beginners: Kannada Kalike

From a by Stelo who is learning Kannada on his own:

  1. An Intensive Course in Kannada by Lingadevaru Halemane (CIIL, Mysore)
  2. भारतीय भाषा ज्योति कन्नड़ (CIIL, Mysore)
  3. कन्नड़ स्वयं बोधिनि (कन्नड़ अभिवृद्धि प्राधिकार)
  4. A Practical Key to the Kanarese Language

For those learning to learn more advanced Kannada, recommended by Stelo

  1. Zydenbos' A Manual of Modern Kannada
  2. Spencer's Kannada Grammar
  3. Halemane's An Intensive Course in Kannada
  4. Jensen's Grammatik der kanaresischen Schriftsprache
  5. Dr. Kalegoda's भारतीय भाषा ज्योति कन्नड़
  6. Halemane's Kannada A Self-Instructional Course (in 5+ languages)
  7. Andronov's Язык каннада (this booklet is more of an overview of Kannada grammar than a full-fledged course).

One can refer Kittle dictionary which is available on online. Old and good one. I also use Champu nudigannadi for few words which were from Old Kannada literature. via

Padma - Chrome Web Store

chrome.google.com

Even though Indic scripts are supported through Unicode by modern platforms and browsers, many Indic websites still use the old non-Unicode font base encodings. Without those proprietary fonts installed in user's computer, those pages can not be rendered correctly.

Padma automatically transforms Indic text from proprietary formats to Unicode, so that user is able to review the page correctly without the proprietary fonts installed.

You can config Padma to transform a website automatically via the options page by adding the URI of the website and then save the options, if the conversion from the proprietary font to Unicode is supported in Padma (Please refer to known issue for detail). Or you can remove the URI and then save the options to avoid the automatic transformation to a specific page.
