What country is the majority of Sylheti language speakers located?
Sylhetis The Sylhetis (Sylheti: ꠍꠤꠟꠐꠤ , Bengali: সিলেটি ) are an Indo-Aryan ethno-linguistic group of people who speak the Sylheti language and are native to the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh and the Barak Valley of the Indian state of Assam, with a sizeable population in Shillong, Meghalaya and Tripura of India and in London, United Kingdom. They are described as being both synonymous with Bengalis as well as a separate ethnic group due to historical isolation and lack of mutual intelligibility between their languages.
Culture of Sri Lanka The culture of Sri Lanka mixes modern elements with traditional aspects and is known for its regional diversity. Sri Lankan culture has long been influenced by the heritage of Theravada Buddhism passed on from India, and the religion's legacy is particularly strong in Sri Lanka's southern and central regions. South Indian cultural influences are especially pronounced in the northernmost reaches of the country. The history of colonial occupation has also left a mark on Sri Lanka's identity, with Portuguese, Dutch, and British elements having intermingled with various traditional facets of Sri Lankan culture. Culturally, Sri Lanka, particularly the Sinhalese people, possesses strong links to both India and Southeast Asia.
