Chittagonian Language speaking area
Chittagonian (চাটগাঁইয়া saṭgãia or চিটাইঙ্গা siṭaiṅga )[1] [2] or Chittagonian Bengali [9] [10] is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in parts of the Chittagong Division in Bangladesh .[5] Its speakers identify with Bengali culture and the Bengali language.[11] Chittagonian and Standard Bengali are not inherently mutually intelligible , although it is considered as a nonstandard Bengali dialect .[5] Chittagonian is considered to be a separate language by some linguists.[12] It is mutually intelligible with Rohingya and to a lesser extent with Noakhailla . It is estimated (2006) that Chittagonian has 13 million speakers, principally in Bangladesh.[5]
