Line 18: }} '''Sankethi''' (sometimes spelled '''Sanketi''') is a [[Dravidian_languages#Classification\|South Dravidian language]] that is closely related to [[Tamil language\|Tamil]]. It is sometimes considered a dialect of [[Kannada]] or Tamil, but there are considerable differences that make it unintelligible to speakers of both languages. It has strong lexical influences from [[Kannada]] (particularly in the colloquial ~~language~~form), as well as borrowings from [[Sanskrit]].<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.sankethi.org/Culture/History/SankethiSaga.html\|title=NASA - Fostering the global Sankethi community}}</ref><ref>{{e18\|tam\|Tamil}}</ref> It is most commonly spoken in [[Karnataka]], [[India]] by the [[Sankethi people]], who migrated from [[Sengottai]] in [[Tamilnadu]]. The language is most often written in the Kannada script. However, Sankethi (especially in the spoken form) has relatively higher frequencies of consonant clusters of more than two consonants and semivowels. This makes it difficult to write in the Kannada script, which would require multiple subscripted letters (ಒತ್ತಕ್ಷರ - ottakṣara). As a result, Sankethi is rarely found in printed or any written form, and has no standardized form.
