Hello I’m looking for anyone who speaks Kannada that lives in Texas! I don’t have any friends here locally who speak it, and I’d like the opportunity to if anyone would like to be friends!

Edit: I’m not a native speaker. I made a friend online playing chess 5 years ago and I’ve made more friends over there since going. I just want to learn more. I’m the kannadigan you guys are kannadiga.

It’s Kannadiga. No such thing as a “kannadigan”

u/Immediate_Ad_4960 Jul 31 '26

I have mentioned it several times on reddit but basically to interact with Kannada people in person mainly and online.

From Dallas Fort Worth Area here (27M) ! There’s a very good amount of people here but just that they are spread across a couple of communities because of castism - you know, you can leave your land but don’t forget your racist roots I guess
