Further within the South Dravidian subfamily, it belongs to the subgroup Tamil-Malayalam-Kodagu-Kota-Toda.{{sfnp|Bhadriraju Krishnamurti|2003|p=21}} It is closely related to and influenced by [[Kannada language|Kannada]], [[Malayalam language|Malayalam]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Tulu language|Tulu]]. A majority of the words are common between Kodava and [[Beary bashe]], a dialect which is a mixture of [[Tulu language|Tulu]] and [[Malayalam]] spoken by the [[Beary]] Muslims and Kodava Thiyyar communities. Kodava is also closely related to the Kasaragod and Kannur dialects of Malayalam, which are in turn related to Beary.
