Speak Sylheti with your Nanu — not textbook Bangla.
Standard Bengali apps do not teach the words your grandparents use at home. Learn Syloti is built for the Sylheti diaspora in the UK, USA, Canada and beyond.
The problem
You understand some Sylheti. You freeze when it is your turn to speak.
If you grew up in London, New York or Toronto, you probably heard Sylheti every day and still cannot hold a warm conversation. Bangla class does not fix that — the sounds, family words and daily phrases are different.
3D flashcards
Flip cards for greetings, food, pronouns and more. Hear Sylheti pronunciation, then the English meaning.
Works without signal
Look up words in a Sylhet village with no mobile data. The dictionary and translator work offline.
Inside the app
Everything you need to sound like home.
Native audio
Listen to how people in Sylhet actually speak, with phonetic guides for the sounds English does not have.
13+ study categories
Greetings, kinship, numbers, food, emergencies, weddings (biya) and everyday talk.
Syloti Nagri
Explore the historic script of Sylheti — not only spoken phrases, but the writing system itself.
Who it is for
Built for the diaspora.
Heritage learners
Second and third generation Sylhetis who want to answer Nanu in her language, not switch to English.
Parents
Pass the language on before it becomes “something the older people speak”.
Travellers
Prepare for a trip to Sylhet with food, family and emergency phrases that work offline.
Script learners
Study endangered Syloti Nagri with structured lessons, not random YouTube clips.
