{{Culture of Karnataka}}<br />
<br />
'''Bangalore Kannada''' is a vernacular dialect of the Indian language, [[Kannada]], which serves as the official language of the state of Karnataka, as the native language by the majority people of Karnataka [[classical languages of India]].<br />
<br />
This dialect is primarily spoken by youth and in informal discourse between locals. This slang is quickly picked up by the outsiders who live in Bangalore.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Localities/areas in which Kannada is dominant include [[Basavanagudi]], [[Basaveshwaranagar]], [[Chamrajpet]], [[Malleshwaram]], [[Rajajinagar]], [[Banashankari]], [[Sadashivanagar]], [[Vijayanagar, Bangalore|Vijayanagar]], [[Jayanagar, Bangalore|Jayanagar]], [[Jayaprakash Nagar, Bangalore|J P Nagar]], Shivaji Nagar, K.R market, Madhavnagar, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, [[Hebbala]], Hosakerehalli, Kalasipalya, Konankunte, Padmanabhnagar, [[Hanumanthanagar, Bengaluru|Hanumanthnagar]], V.V.Puram, Kumarswamy layout, Kathriguppe, Kengeri, Bidadi, Chandra layout, Kamakshipalya, Kamalanagar, Mahalaxmi layout, Nandini layout, Yeshwanthpur, Peenya Industrial Area, Jalahalli, Yelahanka, Dollars colony, RMV extension, Jnanabharti campus & surroundings, Hesaraghatta, Nagarbhavi, Vidyaranyapura etc. In other newer areas, one may hear other languages along with Kannada.<br />
<br />
Through the years various radio stations have been popularising the language amongst youth and the large IT workforce of this city.<br />
<br />
Some commonly used phrases, slangs or words specific to Bangalore Kannada are:<br />
* {{trans|kan|bombaat}}, ''sakkath'' - meaning awesome/cool<br />
* {{trans|kan|bejaan}} - a lot<br />
* {{trans|kan|kudumi}} - bookworm<br />
* {{trans|kan|Chamak, dose}} - To scare someone in a funny way<br />
* {{trans|kan|Sisya}} - your trusted buddy<br />
* {{trans|kan|Chindi}} - amazing<br />

* {{trans|kan|kedi}} - cunning guy<br />
* {{trans|kan|tight aagbittidaane}} - highly drunken man<br />

* {{trans|kan|Thukaali}} - waste fellow<br />
* {{trans|kan|Kirik aagthide}} - A fight happening between 2 people or groups<br />
<br />
These words can be slang or catchy words, and can also be combined into [[Kanglish]] [Kannada+English].<br />
<br />
For instance, "just maja maadi", meaning, "chill out", is a phrase popularized by one of the city's radio stations "Enjoy maadi" and "swalpa adjust maadi" are other such popular Kanglish phrases. ("Maadi" literally means "do" or "make".)<br />
