Song and storytelling by a Baleswari Odia speaker, recorded in India.

Baleshwari Odia (Odia: ବାଲେଶ୍ୱରୀ ଓଡ଼ିଆ), also Northern Odia[1] or North Balasore Odia, is a dialect of Odia[2] spoken in the Mayurbhanj (commonly called "Mayurbhanjia"), Balasore, and Bhadrak districts of the Indian state of Odisha. It is a linguistic variations to the standard Odia.[3] While the dialects spoken in these three districts vary with regional influences and influences from different local Adivasi language groups, the Baleswari Odia from the northern coastal Balasore region has a distinct accent with some similarity with Bengali. The dialect in Bhadrak district and Soro have more similarity with the standard Odia.
