Abstract

This paper deals the phonology of the language variety spoken by the Hebbar Iyengar community, a Brahmin community traditionally based in the southern regions of Karnataka state in southern India, particularly in the districts of Haasan, Tumkur, Mandya, Kolar, Bangalore and Mysore. This unwritten variety, with no reliable statistics, essentially comprises a substratum closely related to Tamil (the majority and official language of neighbouring Tamil Nadu state), but with considerable lexical influence from Kannada (the majority and official language of Karnataka). All the languages in question belong to the Dravidian family of languages.
