Bangalore Kannada is a vernacular dialect of the Indian language, Kannada, spoken mainly by people residing in and around Bangalore.
This dialect is primarily spoken by youth and in informal discourse between locals. This slang is quickly picked up by the outsiders who stay in Bangalore. The slang is also pure Kannada and is quite old, too, and not of a cosmopolitan nature. The use of slang may give outsiders an inaccurate impression.
Bangalore Kannada is spoken by the native people almost everywhere: at home, in educational institutions and other places. Bangalore and Mysore Kannada are the most commonly used in other mediums such as plays and movies. Also, Bangalore Kannada has a neutral accent.
One hears Authentic Kannada at localities/areas like Malleshwaram, Basavanagudi, Rajajinagar, Chamarajpet, Banashankari, Sadashivanagar, Vijayanagar, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Gandhi Bazaar etc. At other newer areas, one may hear other languages along with Kannada.
