Dhakaiya Urdu
Dhakaiya Urdu, also known as Sobbasi and Khosbas Dhakaiya, is a dialect of Urdu that is native to Old Dhaka and its surrounding areas in Bangladesh. It is spoken by the city's Khusbas community and the erstwhile Nawab family of Dhaka. The usage of the language is gradually declining due to negative perceptions following the Bengali Language Movement as well as it not being given an official status. Dhakaiya Urdu is one of the two dialects of Urdu spoken in Bangladesh; the other one being the Urdu spoken by the Biharis and Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh.
