Dhakaiya Kutti dialect

Dhakaiya Kutti Bengali (Bengali: ঢাকাইয়া কুট্টি বাংলা, romanized: Dhakaiya Kutti Bengali, lit. 'Dhakaite 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 Kutti-Bengalis of Old Dhaka in Bangladesh. This dialect is fully mutually intelligible with Standard Bengali and other varieties of Bengali. It is not used in formal settings anymore although historically the local Bais and Bara panchayets are said to have used it sometimes.
