Bellari is a Dravidian variety of India spoken by about 1,000 Bellara, a Scheduled Caste of Karnataka and Kerala. It is reportedly close to Tulu and Koraga (especially the former),[1] but it is not known if it is a separate language or a dialect of Tulu.[3] A community of fifty families of basket-weavers live in Kundapura Taluk in coastal Karnataka.[4][5]
