Dhakaiya Kutti

Dhakaiya Kutti dialect (Bengali: ঢাকাইয়া কুট্টি উপভাষা, romanized: Dhakaiya Kutti dialect, lit. 'Dhakaiya dialect of the rice-huskers'), also known as Old Dhakaiya Bengali (Bengali: পুরান ঢাকাইয়া বাংলা, romanized: Purān Dhākāiyā Bānglā) or simply Dhakaiya, is a Bengali dialect, spoken by the Dhakaiya Kuttis of Old Dhaka city in Bangladesh. This dialect is fully mutually intelligible with Standard Bengali but has some differences in vocabulary. It is not used in formal settings anymore although historically the local Bais and Bara panchayets are said to have used it sometimes.
