Please do not add or change content, as you did at Karnataka, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. See WP:REFB for more help. Thank you. Begoon 18:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Beary language
Then what is the percentage of beary speaking people in karnataka.. You can check with beary language itself.. Irfanbinam (talk) 18:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The point here is that we use reliable sources (see WP:RS). I don't know the percentage of Beary speaking people in Karnataka. I don't know the percentage of people speaking any of the other languages either - so we have a reference link next to the data. It links to this 2001 census data. That link is to data from 2001, and if you have newer data you can provide it, using the procedure outlined at WP:REFB.
 * As you can see, the current data does not include Beary. Again, if you have a better reliable source you can provide it. What you can't do is just remove an item that is in the source (Malayalam) and replace it with one that isn't (Beary) - that's misrepresenting what the source says. Where does the figure of 1.33% come from? The answer is that it comes from the linked source for Malayalam. You just replaced the word Malayalam with Beary as though that 1.33% was Beary in the source - which it isn't.
 * I understand that you think Beary should be listed, and Beary is related to Malayalam, but they are not exactly the same thing and wikipedia doesn't operate on what you or I think or want, it uses reliably sourced content. The content in the article is sourced, and you cannot alter it without providing a new source. -- Begoon 01:10, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
