Kannada is considered to be older than Telugu. Kannada is believed to have evolved from ancient languages like Sanskrit and Prakrit, while Telugu developed as a distinct language later on.
Both Telugu and Kannada are rich languages with long histories and diverse literatures. It is subjective to say which is "greater" as both have contributed significantly to Indian culture and society in their own ways. It's best to appreciate the unique qualities of each language rather than comparing them.
