Bangal
Bangal is a term used to refer to the people of East Bengal (usually from regions around Dhaka and Barisal), now in Bangladesh (as opposed to the Ghotis of West Bengal). The term is almost exclusively used in either derogatory or jocular fashion by people of Western (West Bengal) and Central Bengal (in Bangladesh) to describe Bengalis from the East, who are marked by a distinct accent.
