whom live here in my country. If you look in the center
of the map you can see our capital city, Dhaka. Here in
our country we have 158,065,841 people, and the major
religions are Muslim, Hindu, and a few others. We are known
for our wonderful teas that we ship around the world.
Dhanyabad for stopping by! Shanti to you and your family.
Accha, friend!!!
Our country, known offi cially as the Republic of
Bangladesh, became recognized as a nation in
1971. The word “Bengali” in English relates to all
of us who speak the language, as well as to the
language itself.
All of our Bengali literature was in rhymed
verse if written prior to the 19th century.
Bangladesh has a coastal mangrove forest,
which is part of the Sundarbans National Park,
and is one of the largest such forests in the
world.
The Nobel Peace Prize was given to the
Grameen Bank in Bangladesh for its help
in providing assistance to many of the
poor in the country, especially many of our
impoverished women.
The people here eat a lot of fish and rice, and
sometimes because of rice farming, weather,
and other natural conditions, as much as 80
percent of our land can be covered in water.
Also, we use a lot of spices to flavor our food,
but some favorites include coriander, cumin,
garlic, ginger, and turmeric.
A handful of love is better than
an oven full of bread.

Hello: Ohseeyo (oh see yo) Goodbye: Donadagovi (doe naw doe go vee) Thank you: Wado (waw doe) Peace: Dohiyi (doe hee yee)
Ohseeyo!
Saying hello in Cherokee! Most
of the 310,232,863 people in the United
States speak English, and Cherokee is spoken
by just over 20,000 people, mostly in Oklahoma and
North Carolina. Our capital city is Washington, DC, on the
far eastern shore of our country. The word Cherokee comes
from the word Muskogee, and means “those who speak another
language.” There are many religions in the United States, including
Protestants, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,
and others. Wado for being here! May you have dohiyi.
Donadagovi, friend!!!
There are approximately 8.5 million takeoffs
per year at American airports, which is almost
half of the flights around the world.
The postal service here in the United States
moves over 40 percent of the world’s mail on any
given day.
The majority of people in the United States
speak English as their primary language, though
people from all over the world have come to live
here.
Cherokee is considered an endangered language,
though many are trying to ensure that the
language and culture survive, including the art
form of basket making.
There are more personal computers in the United
States than in the next four biggest purchasers
combined: Japan, China, Germany and the
United Kingdom.
We really like our popcorn here, eating over 17
billion quarts of popped popcorn every year. That
averages to over 65 quarts per person! We also
like our pizza, eating on average about 100 acres
of pizza every day or 350 slices every second!
Always remember that a smile is
something sacred, to be shared.
