Saving the Komarpanth Kannada (Halegannada)

I had posted a query on Quora : 

Can anyone guide me in preserving the Kshatriya Komarpant Halegannada language spoken by a few thousands in Karwar Ankola region.

To elaborate on the question:

Our Kshatriya Komarpant - Wikipedia Halegannada (Old Kannada) is unique :

Bande (coming) - bandi (Coming) - batti (Coming / will come)

Yenu (what) - Eenn / yenn (what)

Aaythu (okay / done) - Aaith (okay / done)

Hoguttiyaa (going?) - Hottya (Going?)

“Hoy-Sala” - The word "strike" literally translates to "hoy" in Hale Kannada (Old Kannada). This word “Hoy” is even today used in this Komarpanth-Halegannada language with the same meaning and context.

Nammadu (Ours) - Naamked (ours)

Naavu (we) - Naav (we)

Ollage (inside) - Wallg (inside)

Horage (outside) - Hyaarg (outside)

Naanu (I/me/myself) - Naa (I/me/myself)

I could go on like this. 

This Halegannada (or, may correspond to Nadugannada) does not match with the Halimidi Inscription and may have been changed over a period of time. 

That Kannada has metamorphised into a language that is now taught in the text books.

However, within the Kshatriya Komarpant community this language is dying, and I need to find methods to record it.

Konkani has made inroads into the Komarpant families, to a large extent, so much that many think Konkani is their default language. There are Kannada speaking families too, as you move away from Karwar towards Ankola, Kumta or even Yellapur.

One reply from a fellow Quoran has directed me towards the Endangered Languages Project, backed by Google whose mission is to preserve endangered languages, and also the Central Institute of Indian Languages - Wikipedia in Mysore which may be a place to explore too.

Katyayani Baneshwar Aversa - Kaul pooja

.

Sri Katyayani Baneshwar is one of the Kuladevata of the Kshatriya Komarpanths.

As per the Hindu Calender (Panchang), today is the Ashwin Shukla Poornima (Full Moon Day of Ashwija, also known as Kojagiri Poornima).

At the temple of Sri Katyayani Baneshwar in Aversa, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka, after the mid day pooja, on this full moon day “MAHA SANTHARPANE” (mass feeding of Prasada Bhojan) is undertaken.

In the evening the silver Pallaki Utsav is celebrated.

Sri Devi seated in silver Palanquin is taken in procession to the platform at the base of Peepal tree near the Shrine of Sri Kalabhairava and pooja is offered to HER there.

Then in procession, Sri Devi is taken back to the temple, pooja offered there and prasada distributed.

On the next morning, i.e. the first day of Krishna Paksha (Ashwija Vadhya Pratipada day) at around Ten O’clock, the sarees and clothes offered to Sri Devi and Sree Baneshwara are auctioned in public.

Special pooja is performed that night, and “KAULA PRASAD” is distributed in an orderly manner in front of Sri Baneshwar Shrine.

To partake in the Blessings of the Kuladevata, Kulaavi people from Karwar, Ankola, Sirsi, Kumta, Goa, Mangalore, Udupi, Shimoga and Mumbai visit the temple on this day.

Jai Katyayani Baneshwar ! 🙏🙏
