Tulu is the main language spoken by the Billavas. In some areas of Karnataka, Billavas also speak Kannada and identify themselves as "Kannada Billavas". The dialect spoken by the Billava people is known as "common Tulu". There are also subgroups within the Billavas (the Thiyyabillas or Malaylali Billavas in the South Canara district) who are considered part of the Malayalee community.
