Meeting Description:
A gathering of all those who are willing to contribute to the topic of the Sylheti language (as spoken in Bangladesh, India and/or in the diaspora). All disciplines are welcome.
SOAS, University of London is a unique institution located in central London at Russell Square. SOAS is known for its student body diversity as well as its dedication to the regions of East and South Asia and Africa. The SOAS Sylheti Project and the SOAS Sylheti Language Society are among the many active projects being undertaken by SOAS students and faculty. Taking inspiration and encouragement from the Sylheti-speaking population in London, the projects endeavor to teach the Sylheti language as well as document its usage. This year, the SOAS Sylheti Project will be hosting a one-day event dedicated to this minoritized language.
We hope you will help make our Sylheti Language Conference a success!
