About Sylheti
Sylheti is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by approximately 11 million people, primarily in the Sylhet Division of northeastern Bangladesh and in parts of southern Assam, India. It has historical roots in the medieval period and developed distinctly from Standard Bengali due to the geographic isolation of the Sylhet region.
Sylheti is primarily written using the Bengali script, though it historically had its own script called Sylheti Nagari, which was widely used until the mid-20th century. The language differs significantly from Standard Bengali in phonology, vocabulary, and grammar, to the point where mutual intelligibility is limited. Interestingly, Sylheti has a large diaspora community, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it is one of the most commonly spoken South Asian languages.
