From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arebhashe or Gowda Kannada is a dialect of the Kannada language, particularly, spoken by the people belonging to ‘Gowda’ community (among Hindus) who are the natives of Madikeri, Somwarpet, Bhagamandala and Kushalanagara of Kodagu district and Sullia of Dakshina Kannada[citation needed]. It is also spoken by eastern parts of Kasaragod district[citation needed] of Kerala state. In Sullia Taluk, as the majority of the population belongs to Gowda community, most of others also generally communicate in the same dialect[citation needed].'Are bhashe' gowdas are the single largest community in Coorg district of Southern Karnataka[citation needed]. More than 60% of total population in Madikeri taluk are Are Bhashe Gowdas[citation needed]. Around 300,000 people in this region speak this dialect[citation needed]. Arebhashe pronunciation is somewhat distinct from Kannada (Example: hege in Kannada; henge in Arebhashe for 'How' in English. "aayithu" in kannada is "aath" in are_bashe for 'ok' in English.). It is written in the Kannada script.
