The term for any citizen of Bangladesh would be Bangladeshi.

The largest people group in Bangladesh are the Bengali, however, as there are also Bengalis in India's West Bengal state, the term Bengali is not accurate to describe citizens of Bangladesh. The term Bengali describes a group sharing a common culture and (most importantly to them) a common language, Bangla.

Bangladesh also has many minority people groups including the Bihari, Santal, and Garo. These groups are often located in border areas such as the Chittagong Hill districts. Non-Bengali peoples generally are regarded as inferior or second-class citizens.

According to the constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh "The people of Bangladesh shall be known as Bangalees as a nation". So the people of Bangladesh are Bangalees. So a person from Bangladesh is called according to his nationality as "Bangalee". This word "Bangalee" is often used in English as "Bengali". Like the word "Russki" in English as "Russian". In case of citizenship as the Russians uses "Citizenship: Russian Federation", we use "Citizenship: Bangladeshi or Bangladesh". There is Bangladeshi citizen or citizen of Bangladesh but not Bangladeshi people. Like there is citizen of Russian Federation but not Russian Federationian people. As you call a citizen of United States as American, so a Bangladeshi citizen as Bangalee.
