CLDR likely/default locale: Knda; not audio/sole script—confirm project choice
Direction
Left to right

Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) review centers on this evidence: check Kannada vowel signs, consonant conjuncts, suffix chains, names, numbers, and code-switched technical terms. The Knda value for kn comes from CLDR likely-subtag expansion. It guides locale fallback; audio has no script, and Kannada still needs a project choice. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include vowel signs, conjunct forms, word boundaries, names, and specialist vocabulary. Project decision: which Kannada spelling and English-term transliteration policy is approved. Before batch editing kn, a reviewer must record which Kannada spelling and English-term transliteration policy is approved and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
