Sylheti Counting

The Sylheti language is a rich and diverse language spoken by millions of people around the world. Despite being one of the most widely spoken languages in Bangladesh and parts of India, Sylheti has not received the recognition and support it deserves. This lack of support has put the language at risk of extinction, but efforts are being made to save and revive it. As part of this effort, the 'Sylheti Counting' / 'Numbers In Sylheti / Syloti With English Translation 0 to 100' book has been published to document and make learning resources available to the wider community. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning to count in Sylheti and is part of a broader campaign to preserve this unique and valuable language. One of the reasons why Sylheti is at risk of extinction is the lack of support and resources for learners. With the publication of this book, there is now a guide to counting in Sylheti, making it easier for learners to engage with the language and become part of the movement to save it. Moreover, it is important to highlight that two MPs, who are fluent in Sylheti, are part of the UK parliament and have, to some extent, lent their support to the campaign for the revival of the language. One of them has even spoken in Sylheti during her parliamentary speech, while the other has been heard speaking in native Sylheti. Their contribution underscores the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, not only in Bangladesh and India but also in countries like the UK, where Sylheti speakers have made their homes. Overall, the 'Sylheti Counting' / 'Numbers In Syloti' book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning this beautiful language. By providing a clear and concise overview of Sylheti numerals from 0 to 100, it makes learning to count in Sylheti accessible to a wider audience. This publication is a testament to the efforts of those who are working tirelessly to preserve and promote the Sylheti language, and it is a significant step towards ensuring that this vital language is not lost to future generations.
