The Syloti Nagori alphabet and Sylheti language are integral to the cultural heritage of millions of people, primarily from the Sylhet region, which now spans parts of Bangladesh. This ancient script and language, rich with history, have been at the heart of Sylheti culture for centuries. However, with increasing globalization and the dominance of larger languages, the Syloti Nagori alphabet and the Sylheti language are at risk of fading away.

The Syloti Nagori alphabet, once used widely in literature, commerce, and religious texts, is on the brink of extinction. This script is not only a means of communication but also a repository of the cultural and historical narratives of the Sylheti people. Similarly, the Sylheti language, spoken by over 11 million people worldwide, is a beacon of identity for people in the Sylhet region and diaspora communities spread across the UK, USA, India and other countries.

We must act now to safeguard this precious cultural legacy. Governments, educational institutions, and cultural organizations in Bangladesh, along with the international community, must come together to implement a multifaceted approach to preserve this heritage. This includes incorporating Syloti Nagori and Sylheti language into school curricula, supporting language and script research, and promoting digital archives to make resources accessible worldwide.

Furthermore, we call upon tech companies to include the Syloti Nagori alphabet and the Sylheti language in their platforms' language options, enabling a global platform for Sylheti speakers and learners. These steps will not only rejuvenate the script and language but also preserve an essential part of the world's cultural diversity.

Please sign this petition to urge the relevant authorities and organizations to take immediate action in preserving the Syloti Nagori alphabet and the Sylheti language. Together, we can ensure that the vibrant cultural identity of the Sylheti people thrives for generations to come.
