'...many Bangladeshis in #Michigan speak #Sylheti, a dialect used by 11 million people in the world. However, interpreters often speak standardized formal #Bengali language. “We’ve seen so many people denied or deported because of the language barrier. They don’t understand these are Sylheti speakers.”' #Bangladesh #Immigration #Refugees #Language #Detroit #Hamtramck #NargisRahman #BridgeDetroit #WDET https://wdet.org/2025/03/19/shustho-how-language-access-affects-health-care-for-bangladeshi-women-in-michigan/
