Beary bashe or Naaknik bashe is a Dravidian language spoken by a religious minority of Muslim community called Byaris in a region known as Tulunadu in the state of Karnataka. It has no script of its own and uses the Kannada language script. It has words from all Dravidian languages like Tulu, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam also few Arabic and Konkani words. It is more similar to the neighboring Malayalam language dialects used in the Malabar district of state of Kerala. It is claimed that Beary bashe is the only language in world spoken just by Muslims^{[citation needed]}. Comparisons are made to Yiddish and other Jewish specific languages used by the various Jewish minorities around the world.
