Bangladeshi people are known widely for their kind behavior and hospitality towards foreigners. Once you move here, you’ll find no problems communicating with the people.
Most people in Bangladesh commonly speak the Bangladeshi language, but about 1 in 10 people will have some knowledge of English.
However, despite being unable to speak the English Language, the Bangladeshi people took some great measures to understand the demands and needs of the foreign people. Therefore, the language barrier in Bangladesh could be a lot higher.
- Short History of Bangladesh:
Bangladesh, before independence, was initially a part of the Sub-continent and was commonly known as East Bengal at that time. However, in 1947, when the sub-continent broke free from the chains of British rule, it was divided into two main states (India and Pakistan).
After the independence of the sub-continent, Bangladesh became a part of Pakistan (East Pakistan) and was ruled by Islamabad (The capital of West Pakistan).
But as the rights of the Bangladeshi people were not provided, in 1971, Bangladesh fought against Pakistan and became the separate state that we call Bangladesh today.
- Currency in Bangladesh:
The currency in Bangladesh is the Bangladeshi Taka (also known as BDT). There are nine banknotes in Bangladesh for BDT 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 2.
The banknotes for 2 and 5 BDT are hind to find as they are not in use and are rare. Money transaction in Bangladesh is easy as most of the ATMs operate in English.
However, locals can change the language to Bangladeshi. Also, there are ATMs all over Bangladesh, so you won’t have a problem finding one.
