Holiya (Golari) is a southern Dravidian language closely related to Kannada. It is considered as a dialect of Kannada.
It was spoken by about 3,614 persons in Nagpur and Bhandara districts of Maharashtra (Vidarbha) and Seoni and Balaghat districts of Madhya Pradesh as per 1901 census.[3][4] It is very similar to the form of Kannada spoken in Bijapur (Vijayapura).
