Recently I had the pleasure of receiving Anandha Raju [inventor of Badaga Anandha script] with his charming wife and children at our place and had a pow wow on Badaga, the great language.. Anandha feels that there is no ‘sh -ஷ ‘ sound in Badaga Maathu [language].
I disagree. What about barasha (year), baashay (language), Kashta (difficulty), nashta (loss) and ishta (wish)?
Another ‘sound’ of interest is ‘zha – ழ‘ – the only word that comes to mind is ‘eizhu‘- (seven).
What do you think?

Tiger is HULI in Badaga Lanuage
Here's a question that was posed to the Dalai Lama:
"What thing about humanity surprises you the most?"
His answer is : "MAN - Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present,
And as a result he doesn't live in the present or the future. And he lives as if he's never going to die and then he dies having never really lived".

“kashtanashta” is a euphonic combination of words, which has entered the Badugu vocabulary recently. Its Badugu equivalent is “ga:ja:rago:ja:ra”. Likewise “ishta” is not Badugu, “ge:na” is Badugu.
The Badugu word “izhzhu” for the numeral seven is a recent development. The rectracted vowel “i:” was later complemented by flexion to form the retroflex sound “zh”. As a result “i:yu” became “izhzhu”.

Sir,
Thank you for a such wonderful site. Though a regular reader of this site i have yet to comment on such wonderful blogs.
It is evident that caste enumeration is conducted now in Tamil Nadu. Each and every caste is trying to mobilize and clarify nature of the sub-sects of their caste during enumeration.
Is there any awareness created in the community in respect of how to answer the caste enumeration. Does it necessary for Badagas to state their sub sect like Haruva, Badaga, Thorraya during the enumeration.
I hope you will create the awareness in the above aspect.
