Baleswari Odia (Odia: ବାଲେଶ୍ୱରୀ ଓଡ଼ିଆ), also Northern Odia[1] or North Balasore Odia, is a dialect of Odia[2] spoken in the northern regions of Indian state of Odisha. It is spoken in the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Mayurbhanj (commonly called Mayurbhanjia) and Kendujhar (commonly called Kendujharia).

It has linguistic variations to standard Odia.[3] While the dialects spoken in these districts vary with regional influences and influences from different local community and tribal language groups, the Baleswari Odia from the northern coastal Balasore region has a distinct accent with some similarity with the nearby Medinipuri dialect of Odia and Bengali. The dialect in Bhadrak district have more similarity with the standard Odia.

Features

Baleswari substitutes "କିସ" (kisa) for a frequently used word "କଣ" (kaṇa) meaning "what" and "କେନେ" (kene) for "କାହିଁକି" (kāhĩki) meaning why. Most of the syllables which are pronounced as "o" in Standard Odia are pronounced as "u" in Baleswaria such as "ଓଡ଼ିଶା" (Odia pronunciation: [oɽiɕaː]) is pronounced as "ଉଡ଼ିସା" [uɽisaː].
