Syloti Language Center

Speak Your Roots!
Reconnect with your heritage at the Sylheti Language Center. Spoken Sylheti, folklore, culture & more — for kids and adults, online and in-person.

Behind every great language learner is a great nurturer.

Our nurturers are not just teachers. They are native Syloti speakers who grew up in Sylhet who know the language from the inside. Who speak it with their families, at the market, at the mosque, at the tea stall.

When you learn with them you are not getting a translation of Syloti.

You are getting the real thing. Warm. Alive. Exactly as it is spoken every day in Sylhet.

A lot of people do not know about the Syloti language.

The Syloti language is spoken by over twenty million people every day. It has its own ancient writing system, its own rules for speaking and writing, and its own unique identity. The Syloti language has existed in the Sylhet Valley for over fifteen hundred years.

Syloti is not a variation of another language. Syloti is not “bad Bengali.” Syloti is a language of its own, rich in history, culture, and heritage.

The Syloti language deserves recognition.
