Bengali or Bangla is the language in Bangladesh. The country name Bangladesh actually means âCountry of Banglaâ. Everyone in this country speak Bangla, except some tribal people in the hill-tract area.
Keep in mind though, Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. So, the people who live there are more culturally influenced by the neighboring countries. Our assumption that an average Bangladeshi will speak/understand Hindi/Urdu might not hold up as well in the rural areas.
