Could somebody please remove "Tibeto-Burman" from the introduction? The sources do not confirm that information and the edit was made by a sockpuppet user (Bishu Saikia (talk · contribs)) 121.219.239.73 (talk) 05:48, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is how the opening sentence should look like:

Barua (Bengali: বড়ুয়া Boṛua, Arakanese: မရမာကြီး) is a distinct Bengali-speaking Indo-Aryan ethno-religious minority group native to Chittagong Division in Bangladesh, Rakhine State in Myanmar, where they are known as the Maramagyi or Maramagri, and parts of Tripura in northeast India.

Tradition[edit]

The Barua are the only remaining community of Indian Buddhists with historical connections to Nalanda, Vikramshila and Bodh Gaya in Eastern India where Buddhism survived even after the decline of the Mahaviharas. It is also true for the Newars of Nepal, however they speak a non-Indo-European language. I will gradually add informationMalaiya (talk) 01:08, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Language[edit]

Barua people of Bangladesh speak Chittagonian but relate to Bengali culture. It is a L1 language of most Barua people. It is not being accorded a separate language status because of socio-political reasons. I added the edit.

Barua buddhists[edit]

"... the Barua Buddhists have lived there for five thousand years" How could it be when Buddism has only existed for 25 centuries, since Buddha lived in the 5 BCE? @ mirrordor Mirrordor (talk) 19:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
