T-V distinction in Kannada

I'd like to know if Kannada has a T-V distinction like some other Dravidian languages. The T-V article lists Tamil and Telugu examples but fails to mention Kannada. Thanks for any information on this. - 203.76.137.3 11:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

My friend in Bangalore says yes. —Tamfang 20:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Now called Bengaluru (since November 2006). Interesting that our article still calls it Bangalore, when we've happily adopted Chennai (for Madras), Varanasi (for Benares), Kolkata (for Calcutta), et al. But there was a long debate about it, so that's that. Consensus works in odd ways sometimes. -- JackofOz 01:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
