Both of them are languages that share huge similarities and are from the Dravidian family of languages. The majority of people in Karnataka speak Kannada, while Tamil is a language spoken in Tamil, Pondicherry, and Nadu in India.
Tamil is also the official language in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Malaysian countries. Both Kannada and Tamil share a resemblance with the Malayalam language, but Tamil is very much close to Malayalam than Kannada, to the extent that it was a dialect of Tamil language even till the 9th century.
The Tamil language is largely influenced by Dravid and Sanskirt, while the Kannada language is actually influenced by the Prakrit and Pali languages. The Tamil language is basically written in the Tamil script, while the Kannada language is also written in the Kannada script.
