Bengali dialects The dialects of the Bengali language (বাংলা উপভাষাসমূহ) are part of the Eastern Indo-Aryan language group of the Indo-European language family. Barisalian or Borishali (Barisal Division), Noakhalian (Noakhali District), Rangpuri (Rangpur Region), Khulnaiya (Khulna region), Mymensinghi (Mymensingh region), Sylheti (Sylhet region) and Chittagonian (Chittagong region) are major spoken dialects in Bangladesh. Although these languages are mutually intelligible with neighbouring dialects of Bengali, they sometimes lack mutual intelligibility with the Standard Bengali language and sometimes would not be understood by a native speaker of Standard Bengali. This is mainly the case for only Sylheti and Chittagonian. Hence, sometimes these dialects are sometimes considered languages in their own right.
