sylethi 

A mis-spelling of the word Sylheti (see definition under Sylheti) commonly used by ill educated outsiders who are not familiar with how the actual word is pronounced. This mis-spelling and hence mis-pronunciation of the word 'Sylheti' is prevalent amongst the lower classes in Bangladesh.

This ignoramus mis-spelt the word Sylheti and instead wrote sylethi.

Sylheti

A person originating from the Northeastern town of Sylhet in Bangladesh. Sylheti also refers to the dialect of Bangla these people speak there. You will find Sylhetis in almost every corner of the planet and especially in London, Birmingham, UK and in New York, USA.

Sylhetis tend to dislike non-sylhetis of all type, especially other Bangladeshis who they refer to as Noakhali or Dhakkaiya irrespective of where these people actually come from. They consider non-sylheti Bangladeshis to be selfish, untrustworthy and lacking their own considerable generosity, especially to strangers. A Sylheti generally thinks other Bangladeshis to be scroungers who are sponging off their incomes and their natural resources and who should be kept as far away from as is possible. As you can imagine, other Bangladeshis are not too fond of Sylhetis.

Are you Sylheti?

Sylheti

The Sylhetis are an Indo-Aryan ethnocultural group that are associated with the Sylhet region in South Asia, specifically in northeast of Bengal presently divided between the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh, and the Karimganj district of Assam, India. Sylheti is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by an estimated 11 million people, primarily in the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh, the Barak Valley and Hojai district of Assam, and North Tripura and Unakoti district of Tripura, India. It is a member of the Bengali-Assamese languages, and is called either a dialect of Bengali or a separate language. Although linguists consider it an independent language, for many speakers, it forms the diglossic vernacular while standard Bengali forms the codified lect. Historically, it was written with the Sylhet Nagri alphabet but now commonly uses the Bengali alphabet.
