| |
| Most people in Honavar taluk are native speakers of Kannada language. There are sizeable numbers of people who speak other languages such as [[Konkani]] and [[Nawayath]]. This can be attributed to the fact that Honavar taluk, along with the rest of [[Uttara Kannada]] district was under [[Bombay Presidency]] till India got independence from the [[United Kingdom|British]] in 1947. Also, it was part of different kingdoms at different times in the history.
