Koraga is a member of the Dravidian family of languages.[2][3] It is further classified into the Southern Dravidian family. Koraga is a spoken language and generally not written, whenever it is written it makes use of Kannada script. Koraga people are generally conversant in TuluTemplate:Sfnp and Kannada languages and hence use those languages as a medium for producing literature.

- Onti (spoken in Udupi)
- Tappu (in Hebri)
- Mudu (in Kundapura)
- Ande (midway between tappu and onti and in Mangalore)
All the speakers who speak Mudu dialect are bilingual with Kannada language and all speaking onti dialect are bilingual with Tulu language.Template:Sfnp This has resulted a strong influence of Kannada on Mudu koraga and also similar influence of Tulu is seen on onti koraga dialect.Template:Sfnp Majority of negative forms of onti koraga language are borrowed from Tulu language.Template:Sfnp
