Bangal (Bengali: বাঙাল; a.k.a. Purbô Bôngiyô; transl. East Bengali) is a term used to refer to the Bengali people of Eastern Bengal now in Bangladesh, especially from the regions of Mymensingh, Dhaka, Barisal and Comilla. The term is used to describe Bengalis from the east, as opposed to the Ghotis of Western Bengal and Rarh region of modern India.[1] It is usually assumed that the Bramhaputra-Padma river system is the demarcation line between the Western and Eastern wings of the Bengal region. The areas to the East of the Bramhaputra-Padma river system are traditionally held to be the homeland of the Bangal people.
