Modern Standard Syloti

Modern Standard Syloti (MSS) is the everyday spoken language of the Sylheti people living in the Sylhet division of Bangladesh, the Seven Sisters of India, the Middle East, North America, Europe, and Oceania. It is a member of the Indo-European language family and evolved from the Old Syloti language. According to a Canadian-based survey, it is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 20 million native speakers. It is also a popular second language, spoken by about 5 million people worldwide. The language attracts people from other ethnicities with its unique scientific and health-friendly form, melodiousness, and simplicity. Unlike most Indian languages which are aspirated, it relies on tone to change meaning or expression instead of aspiration.

Syloti's closest relatives are Bengali, Assamese, Urdu, and Hindi. It shares a considerable amount of grammatical and lexical similarities with these languages. Additionally, it has exchanged a significant number of words with Arabic, Persian, English, Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, and Chinese. Modern Standard Syloti is usually written in the Latin alphabet, while Classical Syloti was written in the Syloti Nagri or Purbi Nagari script.

Syloti is a tonal and phonemic language that assigns pronunciation based on the sound of its letters and changes meaning through its own tones. Modern Standard Syloti has 5 vowels and 21 consonants. Each of the five vowels has 4 tones, for a total of 20 tones. The language has a total of 29 sounds. In Modern Syloti, vowels are called Bfaoel and consonants are called Konsent.

Modern Standard Syloti is regulated by the International Syloti Language Academy (ISLA). The language has different dialects in different parts of the world, and there are differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, tone, and stress between the dialects, but there is no difference in writing. Modern Standard Syloti is also known as Modern International Syloti (MIS).

Modern Standard Siloti or Modern International Siloti is essentially a standard form of the Syloti language. Previously, the Syloti language had no standard form and was practiced individually in the traditional Syloti language using complex or Bengali-based rules with Purbi Nagari or Syloti Nagri script. Sir Mahbubul Alom introduced or popularized Modern Standard Syloti also known as Modern International Sylheti using the Latin alphabet with distinct rules for the Syloti language to be practiced and used universally.

Sir Mahbubul Alom also invented a simple pangram for the Syloti language and introduced the Sylheti calendar also known as the Mahbubian Calendar.
