Bangladeshi English, is an English accent heavily influenced by the Bengali language and its dialects in Bangladesh.^[1]^[2] This variety is very common among Bengalis from Bangladesh, and in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura in India to a lesser extent.

The code-mixed usage of Bengali/Bangla and English is known as Benglish or Banglish. The term Benglish was recorded in 1972, and Banglish slightly later, in 1975.^[3]
