'''Berar-Deccan Marathi''', is a possible language of the [[Marathi–Konkani languages|Marathi–Konkani]] group, or perhaps just a regional [[Marathi dialects|dialect of Marathi]]. ''[[Glottolog]]'' reports that it is closely related to [[Varhadi-Nagpuri language|Varhadi-Nagpuri]]. (Sub)dialects are Bijapuri (of [[Bijapur district, Karnataka]]) and Kalvadi (of [[Dharwad district]]). These have been counted among the [[Marathi dialects]],<ref>G. A. Grierson (1905) [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.34968/page/n63/mode/2up/search/kalvadi Indo-aryan Family Southern Group, Specimens Of The Marathi Language], pp. 47–60.</ref><br />
and it is not clear just how distinct they are from standard Marathi, with the distinct Deccani language perhaps being [[Deccani Urdu]]. <br />
<br />
Berar-Deccan Marathi shares the names of [[Deccani Urdu]]: ''Dakhini, Dakhni, Dakini, Dakkani, Dakkhani,'' etc.<br />
''[[Ethnologue]]'' says the speakers are Muslim and that the language is written in the [[Nastaliq]] (primarily) and [[Devanagari]] scripts, but again this may be due to confusion with Deccani Urdu.<br />
