Bellari (IPA: [beɭːaːri]) was a Dravidian language of India spoken by the Bellara, a Scheduled Caste of Karnataka and Kerala. It is reportedly close to Tulu and Koraga (especially the former),[2] but it is not known if it is a separate language or a dialect of Tulu.[4] A community of fifty families of basket-weavers lives in Kundapura Taluk in coastal Karnataka.[5]
