Beary Language or
Beary Basse (ಬ್ಯಾರಿ ಬಾಸೆ
Byāri Bāsě) is an Indian language mainly spoken by the
Muslim communities mainly of "
Karnataka (
Dakshina Kannada and
Udupi districts)" and some parts of
Kerala ( "in some parts of
Kasaragod district" ) who are known as
Bearys (
Byaris). Bearys speak a language made of
Malayalam idioms with
Tulu phonology and grammar. This dialect was traditionally known as Mappila Bashe because of Bearys' close contact with Mappilas. Due to the intensive influence of Tulu for centuries, it is today considered as a language close to both
Tulu and
Malayalam.On hearing it for the first time, a
Malayali from Kasaragod district will feel some similarity to their language but not to a
South Kerala Malayali.
