Sources[edit]

I can't find anything reliable about this dialect. The article's single source [1] only says that the Shershabadia claim to speak "Bedia", a variety of the Varendri dialect. The corresponding article on the Bangla Wikipedia (bn:শেরশাবাদিয়া ভাষা) has a second source [2], which only mentions the high number of Arabic loans as supporting the strange assertion that the people originated in the Middle East. This blogspot says the dialect is a mix of Urdu and Bengali. This ethnographic study of one Bedia community as far as I can see only points out (on p. 13) that the people on that field site spoke a slightly different dialect from their Hindu neighbours.

There's also the apparently unrelated Bedia language. – Uanfala (talk) 20:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC) Okay, I will try to get some reliable sources on this topic. Now, New reliable citations, if found, how can I add it to the article as the page itself has been removed from Wikipedia? And about the dialect it's not mix of Urdu and bangla, it's purely Bengali dialect with some unique regional variation. And also Badia is not synonymous with Bedia, Both are very different in nearly every aspect. Thanks... Swaapniil Oomaar (talk) 02:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article hasn't been removed completely, its history is still available at the title of what is now a redirect [3] (in the page history, the time and date on each line are a link to the version of the page at that time). I wouldn't have imagined that the dialect would be a mix of Urdu and Bangla; I mentioned that fact only as a rough indicator of the reliability of that text (if a source describes a language as a mix of this and of that, then most of the time that is a sign that the source is rubbish). – Uanfala (talk) 02:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, got the point. Thanks again... Swaapniil Oomaar (talk) 02:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
