The Sylheti language is an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh and parts of India. It is closely related to Bengali but has distinct phonetic, lexical, and grammatical features. Sylheti is recognized as a separate language by many linguists and has its own script, which is a variant of the Bengali script. Sylheti is spoken by millions of people, particularly among the Sylheti diaspora in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States. The language plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity of the Sylheti people and is used in various forms of media, including literature and music.
