Sylheti (native name Silôţi; Bengali name Sileţi) is the language of Sylhet, the North Eastern region of Bangladesh and southern districts of Assam around Silchar.
Sylheti is distinguished by a wide range of fricative sounds (which correspond to aspirated stops in closely-related languages such as Bangla), the lack of breathy voiced stops seen in many other Indic languages, word-final stress, and a relatively large set of loanwords from Arabic and Persian.
Sylheti is spoken by about 10 percent of Bangladeshis, but has affected the course of standard Bengali in the rest of the state.
