What language do they speak in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's official language is Bangla and is spoken by the vast majority of the population.

In Bangladesh, 21 February is the anniversary of the day when the people of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) fought for recognition for the Bangla language.
UNESCO proclaimed the day as the International Mother Language Day in November 1999.
