How open are british sylheti girls to marrying North American born sylheti boys?

[SportingBD]

Yes.

This poster seems to be 100% legit troll, disguised as a Sylheti. Enjoying his holiday on troll mode.

Is sylheti a language or is it a dialect?

I see it as a language, I am sure other sylhetis see it the same.

Google say's Sylheti is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language.

Might as well put down pathans for wanting pathans, same goes for Punjabis, Gujratis, Malays, Marathis etc.

Yes your first post didn’t say anything racist but your following ones did. TBH I don’t think anyone cares really who you get married to , but because of the things you are highlighting which have nothing really to do with your underlying question, most of us are getting a good chuckle at your expense.

TBH your whole manner in which you approached this is rather fishy and questionable.

Again... I re-peat. wtf is going on...

Who married Diana's sister Niobe?

Who are the goods guys vs the bad guys in this thread? Eternal Armaggadon can't just handwave it away.

It is actually a language and has influences from Persia and Arabic as well and was made during the time of Shahjalal. I heard it had its own alphabet as well

No it does not.

The alphabets etc exactly the same as Bangla.

[Zeeshan]

Well then derailment it is. I thought we waitin' on the decoupling meter to gauge it out though...

It was previously written in a different script called Sylheti Nagari

Yeah it does. Sylheti nagari script. Its not used nowadays but there is a nascent movement to bring it back, so who knows in 20 years they might start publishing newspapers books websites in Sylheti language. But even the Sylheti people would have to learn how to read and write it.

Google say's Sylheti is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language.

Sylheti or Syloti (সিলেটী Sileṭi or ছিলটী Silôṭi) is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language, primarily spoken in the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh and the Barak Valley region of southern Assam, India. This language is considered a dialect of the Bengali language by the government of Bangladesh.

This is what Google says. And I think sylhetis will be a different language if the alphabets were somewhat different than bangla alphabets. If nagari script makes a way back, probably then it will have a stronger ground calling Sylheti as a language.

We learn something new everyday. I thought all Bangladeshis speak the same language....

[Zeeshan]

Great then. Tahole gurmukhi niyei ba discuch (NOT Hercules grabbing his crotch at Athens!) korii na kano....

By the Bangladeshi government, not sure its by the Sylheti people

[Zeeshan]

Or for naksh - the pattern from which our word 'naksha' derive I do not doubt.

Thread's gone nuclear.

Interesting, I read the Bangla alphabets when I studied Bengali..briefly.

I read book one, like each Friday the imams use to teach us bangla in UK.

[Zeeshan]

Or Voynich, Maya, Coptic, Black Panther Ethiopian, cursive Burmese, Thai, Navajo smoke alarm, semaphores, braille, barcodes, QR code, match adda's ellipsis, Shamim's chuckle.....

I mean.

Anything goes.

Some sylhetis will say its a seperate language.

Others will say its just a dialect of Bangla.

I see merit with both, but lean towards the former so I can say I'm [somewhat] trilingual, lol. No, no Spanish.

Nah. Bengali (various dialects), Chattgayya (which is also a seperate language but classified as bengali like Sylheti is), Sylheti, Urdu, Chakma, and I just recently learned there's a language called Rangpuri spoken in Rangpur. Not sure if thats the Rangpur "dialect" or not but I recently met a guy from Rangpur and he told me Rangpur dialect is "not as different as Sylheti" so he was implying that Rangpur dialect is still Bangla but Sylheti is not, at last in his opinion.

[roman]

Barishailla and Noa khali dialects deserve to be a language too if Sylheti/Chatgaiya get language status
