The local language of Bijepur is Sambalpuri (Kosali). The major communities of Bijepur are [[Kuilta]]s, [[Dumal]]s [[Agharia]]s, Bhulias/Mehers (the weavers), Brahmins etc. Kuiltas and Dumals are presumed to be an offshoot of the original Chasa (agrarian) community and are synonymous with the [[Khandayat]]s of the coastal region. This is evident by the striking similarity of rituals and gods they worship. When Bhulias settled in this region is controversial. Agharias were migrated from the [[Mughal empire]] for establishing a cultivator community during war when Kuiltas were assigned the duty of part-time [[Kshatriyas]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} Sambalpuri is the language for communication. Oriya and English are used for official purposes and for higher education.<br />
