Karhade (also written as Karada) Brahmins (Marathi: कर्हाडे/कराडे) are a predominantly Pancha Dravida Brahmin sub-group who speak Marathi and Konkani and to a lesser extent Tulu Kannada Malayalam and Hindi. In isolated pockets in Northern Kerala and Southern Konkan a few Karhada families still speak the old Karhadi dialect of Marathi/Konkani – which although lexically similar to its parent languages is heavily influenced by Dravidian languages such as Tulu Kannada and Malayalam.
