"Noted linguist and lexicographer U P Upadhyaya said that there was no need to invent its own script for Beary language, as it could easily be written in Kannada.
Speaking on the topic ‘regionalism in Beary language’ at a programme organised by Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy here on Sunday, he strongly argued that both Beary and Tulu should be written in Kannada, despite the fact that Tulu has its own script.
He warned that using an unfamiliar script for a local language would only lead to the isolation of that language.
The linguist also pointed out that language exists only in dialects and not in script. He went on to describe the script as nothing but a photograph of the spoken word."
