I am aware of the fact that Sylhetis have a different script, the Bengali script is almost similar to ours and I understand little Bengali when it is spoken slow. But the Sylhetis speak too fast for my liking, nevertheless they all speak Assamese in my state.Lmao.... I am making Bangladesh look bad? How? By telling the truth?
Listen. I am telling from my experience and also numerous other people who consider Sylhetis different from Bengalis because they indeed are.
Sylheti language is hard to get for a common Bengali. He won't understand easily what Sylhetis speak in native Sylheti language.
Just 1 month ago my maternal uncle came from Sweden. He says Sylhetis are different even in Sweden. He also stayed in UK but based on his experience in Sweden he said Sylhetis always live in separate community and don't mix with other Bangladeshis for some reasons. That's why my uncle also stayed away from Sylheti community.
They are different and you can not make them same.
Believe me. Sylhetis are different from Bengalis. They are converted Bengali who speaks a different language with own script called Sylheti script. It's like Rohingyas having similarities with Bengalis. Same is true about Sylhetis.
We are proud Bengalis and they are proud Sylhetis. Saying Sylhetis don't have anything common with Assamese is utter lie.
My uncle just 1 month ago came from Sweden. There Bangladeshis live in mainly two communities. One is general Bangladeshi community and other is Sylheti community. Sylhetis don't mix with Bengalis abroad because they think they are superior Muslims then Bengalis. They have their own culture.
Why would Sylhetis abroad keep distance from Bengalis from Bangladesh. Its because they think they are different and they indeed are.
East Bengal did not include Sylhet. It was different region. Due to extremism in Sylheti community abroad Sylhetis face problems these days.
I have been to a place called Silchar in Assam, lots of Sylhetis there, but in our Brahmaputra valley there are only a few.
