Byari Palka, like Kodava and Are Bashe, has no script of its own. It is a combination of Arabic, Kannada, Tamil and Tulu for some extent. The kodava language and the Byari language have 60% words in common. The vocabulary and speed of the speech proves masculinity in the language.
The dialect spoken by Beary(Byaris), is known as Beary Bashe.[14] While Muslims of Uttara Kannada, called Nawayaths, speak a dialect of Konkani and Mappilas of Kerala speak Malayalam (Mappila Malayalam), Bearys spoke a language made of Malayalam idioms with Tulu phonology and grammar.[14] This dialect was traditionally known as Mappila Malayalam because of Bearys close contact with Mappilas.[14] Due to vast influence of Tulu for centuries, it is today considered as a language, close to Malayalam and Tulu.[14]
Beary bashe is largely influenced by Arabic language.[15] Most of the Bearys especially in coastal area still use a lot of Bearified Arabic words during their daily transaction. Saan, Pinhana, Gubboosu, Dabboosu, Pattir, Rakkasi, Seintaan, Kayeen, are the few words used in Beary bashe that has its roots in Arabic language. Beary Bashe also have words related to Tamil and Malayalam. Tamil and Malayalam Speakers can understand Beary by 75%
