Mangaluru: The launch of Beary-Kannada-English dictionary was brought out by the Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy recently. Writer Aravind Malagatti said that culture and language comprise the lifeline of a community and dictionaries are essential to retain the identity of various languages, .

Malagatti said that xompiling of a dictionary is like the process of constructing a dam. "It is for the people to make use of the knowledge from the dictionary. By bringing out a Beary dictionary, the Academy has done a commendable job as it shows the vast reach of the language. A language grows in association with other languages. Beary language has elements of Kannada, Tulu, Malayalam, Arabic and Persian languages as well."

"Beary language is on the verge of extinction in Kerala. When one develops an inferiority complex towards a language, then it moves towards extinction. There is a need to create awareness about the language. The younger generation have a greater responsibility in carrying forward the language and culture for future generations. Beary Study Centre should be opened at Mangalore University at the earliest to take up research activities in the language," he added.

Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister B Ramanath Rai launched the dictionary while Minister for Food and Civil Supplies U T Khader released Belkeri Visheshanka. KSOU former VC Prof B A Viveka Rai, MLA J R Lobo and others were present during the launch along with many local participants.
