Ajith Kumar's first acting role was in a Telugu film, specifically 'Prema Pusthakam' in 1992. While he is now predominantly known as a Tamil cinema superstar, his actual film debut was in Telugu language cinema. His Tamil debut came later in 1993 with 'Amaravathi.' This fact often surprises people who associate him primarily with Tamil films.

Tamil was the first language to be officially designated as a Classical Language of India in 2004, given its ancient literary tradition dating back over 2000 years. The criteria include antiquity, original literary tradition, and distinct heritage from other languages.

Dakani Urdu (or Deccani Urdu), spoken in the Deccan region, has been influenced by neighboring languages including Marathi. The geographic proximity and historical interactions between Marathi and Urdu speakers in Maharashtra and the Deccan led to grammatical and lexical influences.

Marathi is primarily written in the Devanagari script, which is the official and most widely used script for the language today. The Modi script was historically used for Marathi but is now obsolete, and Dravidian is a language family, not a script.

Telugu is the official and most widely spoken language of Visakhapatnam, as it is part of Andhra Pradesh. The city has a significant Telugu-speaking population. While other languages like Hindi and English are understood for communication, Telugu is the native language of the majority.

Tamil is widely considered the oldest of the Dravidian languages with a continuous literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years. While Sanskrit is ancient, it's an Indo-Aryan language, and the earliest Tamil literature (Sangam literature) dates back to 300 BCE.

Hindi is the most spoken language in India by number of native speakers. It is one of India's 22 scheduled languages and serves as the official language of the central government, spoken by over 40% of the population as a first language.

The word 'chit' meaning a small note or letter is taken from Hindi. In Hindi, 'chitthi' means letter or note. The word was adopted into English during the colonial period in India. It is not from Telugu, Tamil, or Malayalam.

Huttida Habba means birthday/festival of completion in Kannada (Huttida = completed/born, Habba = festival). Subhashayagalu means greetings/wishes. This is clearly Kannada language.

Piranda naal means birthday in Tamil (pirantha = born, naal = day). Vaazhthukkal means congratulations/wishes. The phrase structure and vocabulary are distinctly Tamil.
