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.
Sri Lankan Malays Malays of Sri Lanka (also known in Sinhalese language as "Ja Minissu" meaning "Javanese" (Sinhalese: ශ්රී ලාංකික මැලේ "Sri Lankika Mælay" ; Tamil: இலங்கை மலாய் ) - a catch-all term historically used for all native of the Malay Archipelago) originated in Southeast Asia. The group consists of about 40,000 people and they make up 0.20% of the Sri Lankan population. Their ancestors initially came to the country when both Sri Lanka and Indonesia were colonies of the Dutch, while a second wave (1796–1948) came from the Malay Peninsula, when both Malaya and Sri Lanka were in the British Empire.
