In Bangladesh, but also in India.
Bengali is mainly spoken in the Indian state of West Bengal and the neighboring country of Bangladesh. It is also spoken by expatriate communities around the world.
Bengalis primarily adhere to two major religions: Hinduism and Islam. In Bangladesh, the majority of the population is Muslim, while in the Indian state of West Bengal, Hinduism is the predominant faith. There are also smaller communities of Buddhists and Christians among Bengalis. The cultural practices and festivals of Bengalis often reflect this religious diversity.
