Sylhet
Name of town and district in the Northeast of Bangladesh. A person originating from Sylhet is called a Sylheti. Sylhetis have their own dialect also called Sylheti.
Sylhet is the burial place of Hazrat Shah Jalal, a sufi saint who travelled there via river, fought with the local hindu king and established Islam in the region. It is also well known for its tea gardens and beautiful natural scenery.
Sylhet has two major rivers, the Surma and the Kushiara and lots of natural resources like gas and oil and a lot of people too.
Sylhetis are generally wealthier than people in other parts of Bangladesh and a lot of them feel miffed about having to support the rest of the country whom they regard as leechers and look down upon with contempt. They derogatorily refer to non-sylheti Bangladeshis as Noakhali or Dhakaiya no matter where these people actually from. Sylhetis are generally more kindly disposed than other people in the country. If you had an accident and have no money for treatment or to get home, almost every Sylheti will get some money to treat you and pay your fare home.
Because of their hatred of non Sylhetis, there is less inter-marriage between Sylhetis and non-sylhetis than in other parts of the country. In fact marriages between Sylhetis and non Sylhetis have known to be boycotted by the relatives of the Sylheti person.

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.

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.
