The tribes that lived in Chittagong, we all know that living in places that would be unacceptable for us as modern culture, this because if I say hey go to live in a hole, I would dream to insult, but for a tribal talk of a hole Yes, from a borehole in the earth, is to speak of a villa, a mansion or maybe even a castle if it is large.
The Chittagong Hill Tracts in south eastern Bangladesh, were home to a number of tribal groups in the country. Collectively these groups were called Jumma, though separate each had its own name, such as Marma, the Tripura, the Chakma, Tenchungya, Chak, Pankho, MRU Bawm, Murunga, and many others.
For the vast number of tribes that existed, created the Tribal Cultural Institute, which was created in Rangamati in 1978 with the objective of conservation, preservation, promotion, and research about the customs, rituals, languages, beliefs, literature and practices of various tribal groups. The Institute organizes courses in tribal languages, hosts cultural festivals, art exhibitions, music and literary events, decanting the value of traditional tribes of Bangladesh.
For that tribal language, I knew that it offered only to government officials, who on paper are supposed to serve the community. Well, I do not know what kind of community will these city officials, though I suppose that the municipalities of Bangladesh must be honest, not as in my country, where such officers seize much and deliver little if not nothing, to the community.
