havyaka and brahmin are almost as synonymous as iyers and brahmins. and yes,they speak a pure form of kannada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayanthv86 (talk • contribs)

Havyakas are a distinct comunity. Unlike other castes, they have a distinct and powerful dialect with close resamblence to Tamil. This should not be merged with caste. This should remain here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.85.127.139 (talk • contribs)

If the page is about Havyakas, then it should be part of the category caste. The problem is all of Havyaka Kannada speakers are Brahmins, which is definitely a caste identity. Let's consider another dialect of Kannada, Kunda Kannada. This dialect is spoken by all the castes in Kundapura. So if you are writing an article about Kundas, then it's about a community that speaks that language. However, speakers of Havyaka Kannada are Brahmins and in perspective a caste.

However, I would like to see more information on topic. Like description of Havyaka surnames. I hope there would be more research on the surname 'Bhatta'. From Kashmiri muslims to Kerala Brhamins (Bhattatiri), this has a long continuous journey.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.196.161.251 (talk • contribs)

[edit] How are havyakas related to Bhumihars in UP and Bihar??

There is a line saying that havykas are same as bhumihar brahmins in UP and Bihar. Is there any document or proof related to tis statement exist? Looking forward!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skpandey (talk • contribs)
