Noakhailla Language
Noakhailla (), also known by the exonym Noakhalian, is a dialect of Bengali, spoken by an estimated 7 million people, primarily in the Greater Noakhali region of Bangladesh as well as southern parts of Tripura in India. Outside of these regions, there are substantial numbers of Noakhailla speakers in other parts of Bangladesh; as well as diaspora communities in the Middle East, Italy, Europe and the United States. Though it is considered a Bengali dialect, some have labelled it as ''undecipherable'' to speakers of Standard Bengali and that it has a "''vague''" relationship with it. Noakhailla dialect has no presence in formal settings, neither in Bangladesh nor India, though its standardisation has been prospected. There is a post-modernist demand of the Noakhali Division due to the old history, tradition and culture of Noakhali (currently a district of Chittagong Division) Bangladesh by Noakhailla activists. The movement has gained disrepute and commonly been the subject of meme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sanskrit
Sanskrit (; attributively , ; nominally , , ) is a classical language belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. It arose in South Asia after its predecessor languages had diffused there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age. Sanskrit is the sacred language of Hinduism, the language of classical Hindu philosophy, and of historical texts of Buddhism and Jainism. It was a link language in ancient and medieval South Asia, and upon transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia, East Asia and Central Asia in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture, and of the political elites in some of these regions. As a result, Sanskrit had a lasting impact on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies. Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties. The most archaic of these is the Vedic Sanskrit found in the Rig Veda, a colle ...

Bhulua Kingdom
The Kingdom of Bhulua ( bn, ভুলুয়া রাজ্য, Bhulua Rajjo) was a kingdom covering the present-day Noakhali region of Bangladesh. Its establishment is generally credited to Bishwambhar Sur, a Hindu Rajput who passed by the area during a pilgrimage.

Origin It is said that the former Rajas of this region were Kayasthas from modern-day West Bengal. Traditions assert that Bishwambhar Sur, the ninth son of Adi Sura of Mithila, was of Rajput ancestry. However, his marriage to a woman from a Kayastha background, led to the dynasty ultimately identifying as Kayasthas. Establishment According to legend, Bishwambhar Sur went on a pilgrimage to the Chandranath Temple atop the Chandranath Hill of Sitakunda. Returning from Sitakunda, Sur passed through what is now known as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). Suffixes can carry grammatical information or lexical information.
