Noakhali
Definition
- Noakhali is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by an estimated 7 million people, primarily in the Greater Noakhali region of Bangladesh, as well as in southern parts of Tripura in India. Unlike Standard Bengali (Bangla), it has no official recognition and is not used in courts or legislative bodies. Together with Bengali and other local varieties, Noakhali belongs to the Gauda–Banga sub-group, which is classified within the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-Iranian primary branch. As an Indo-Iranian language, it ultimately forms part of the Indo-European language family, the world’s largest by number of native speakers.
