Beary or Byari (ಬ್ಯಾರಿ ബ്യാരി) is a geographically isolated dialect of Malayalam spoken by the Bearys who are part of the Muslim community in Tulu Nadu region of Southern Karnataka and Northern Kerala (Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Kasargod districts). The community is often recognized as Bearys or Beary Muslims.[1][2][page needed] Beary is influenced by Tulu phonology and grammar. Due to the trading role of the community, the language acquired loan words from other languages of Tulu, Kannada, and from Perso-Arabic sources.[2][need quotation to verify]
