Dhakaiya Kutti Bengali (Bengali: ঢাকাইয়া কুট্টি বাংলা, romanizedDhakaiya Kutti Bengali, lit.'Dhakaite dialect of the rice-huskers'), also known as Old Dhakaiya Bengali (Bengali: পুরান ঢাকাইয়া বাংলা, romanizedPurān Dhākāiyā Bānglā) or simply Dhakaiya, is a Bengali dialect,[1] spoken by the Kutti-Bengalis of Old Dhaka in Bangladesh. This dialect is fully mutually intelligible with Standard Bengali but has some differences in vocabulary.[2] It is not used in formal settings anymore although historically the local Bais and Bara panchayets are said to have used it sometimes.[3][4]
