'''Havigannada''', also called as '''Havyaka Bhaashe''' and '''Havyaka Kannada''', is the dialect of [[Kannada]] spoken in [[Malenadu]] and [[Karavali|coastal region]] of [[Karnataka]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://windyskies.blogspot.com/2008/03/sacred-confluence-and-serpents-in-stone.html | title=Windy Skies: A Sacred Confluence and Serpents in Stone | date=25 March 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.languageinindia.com/sep2005/kannadadictionary1.html | title=Language in India }}</ref>

== Usage ==
Havigannada uses similar verbs and words as mainstream Kannada. However, it has more in common with [[Halegannada]] (Old Kannada) than other Kannada dialects. This might be the reason why even native [[Kannadiga]]s of other regions find it difficult to comprehend it for the first time.

It is spoken in the taluks of [[Thirthahalli]], [[Shivamogga]], [[Sagara, Karnataka|Sagara]], [[Sirsi, Karnataka|Sirsi]], [[Yellapur]], [[Siddapura, Uttara Kannada|Siddapur]], [[Honnavar]], [[Hosanagara]] , [[Bhatkal, Uttara Kannada|Bhatkal]], etc. where there is a higher density of Havyakas in relation to other places.

In some parts of [[Uttara Kannada]] District such as Kumta, Honnavara, Bhatkal, [[Sirsi, Karnataka|Sirsi]], and [[Siddapura, Uttara Kannada|Siddapur]], [[Grammatical gender|neuter gender]] is often used instead of [[feminine]] gender.

Havigannada was partly used in [[Kannada cinema|Sandalwood films]]: ''[[Bettada Jeeva]]'', ''[[Nammoora Mandara Hoove]]'' and ''[[Naayi Neralu]]'', which was shot in and around [[Yana, India|Yana]].
