Sylara My Sylheti Tutor is Munayem Mayenin's first work in Language. Sylheti is spoken in the North Eastern Province of Bangladesh (The Duchy of Auloka-Green on the Hills) and, by an overwhelming majority of Bangladeshi people settled in the UK, particularly, in England and specifically, in and around London. Sylheti was not written till Munayem Mayenin has developed a script based on decades of his study of the language. Sylara My Sylheti Tutor is the first ever book written in a Sylheti Alphabet that reflects and represents the true nature of Sylheti Language. This book is designed and written with a view of the learners being primarily non native Sylheti Speakers, though, the second generation British Bangladeshis originating from Sylheti parentage can use the book equally effectively.

A great book as a gift! ... More often than not, we come across a lot of sayings and phrases in many languages. Of which, most of them are pieces of advice or just food for thought. In this book I have collected the transliterations of a bunch of Sylheti Proverbs and Idioms and translated them to English (with the help of some family members and friends) - and a good laugh it was too trying to decipher these! Some of these pro-verbs/idioms are quite aggressive, some are quite funny, some are bitter sweet, some are motivational and some are just harsh truths. On most occasions, I didn't understand what on earth they were referring to, given a lot of Bengali/Sylheti sayings are heavily metaphorical and require 'reading between the lines' to understand it's true meaning and why it was said in a certain situation. Some Sylheti proverbs when translated to English do sound absolutely hilarious, so I warn you now, you'll either laugh or cry! So grab your saa (tea) or tie your longhi and have a good read...

Covering the political, social and historical background of each language, Dictionary of Languages offers a unique insight into human culture and communication. Every language with official status is included, as well as all those that have a written literature and 175 'minor' languages with special historical or anthropological interest. We see how, with the rapidly increasing uniformity of our culture as media's influence spreads, more languages have become extinct or are under threat of extinction. The text is highlighted by maps and charts of scripts, while proverbs, anecdotes and quotations reveal the features that make a language unique.

The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a global language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large number of national, regional and social forms. The global spread of English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics, pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current challenges.

This book is a reproduction of David Kane's 2008 doctoral thesis on puthi-poṛa, a Bengali tradition of book and manuscript reading. Kane's thesis pursues two central aims. The first is ethnographic: to provide a documentation and description of puthi-poṛa as it was performed in Sylhet, Bangladesh, in 2005. The second is historical: to shed light on a historical mystery-how Islam spread so rapidly and pervasively in Bengal from the sixteenth century. Kane's hypothesis is that puthi-poṛa was used in this process.

"I’m not hanging noodles on your ears." In Moscow, this curious, engagingly colorful assertion is common parlance, but unless you’re Russian your reaction is probably "Say what?" The same idea in English is equally odd: "I’m not pulling your leg." Both mean: Believe me. As author Jag Bhalla demonstrates, these amusing, often hilarious phrases provide a unique perspective on how different cultures perceive and describe the world. Organized by theme—food, love, romance, and many more—they embody cultural traditions and attitudes, capture linguistic nuance, and shed fascinating light on "the whole ball of wax." For example, when English-speakers are hard at work, we’re "nose to the grindstone," but industrious Chinese toil "with liver and brains spilled on the ground" and busy Indians have "no time to die." If you’re already fluent in 10 languages, you probably won’t need this book, but you’ll "get a kick out of it" anyhow; for the rest of us, it’s a must. Either way, this surprising, often thought-provoking little tome is gift-friendly in appearance, a perfect impulse buy for word lovers, travelers, and anyone else who enjoys looking at life in a riotous, unusual way. And we’re not hanging noodles from your ear.
