About

Bangladesh is a relatively young country, having declared independence from Pakistan in 1971. Now, with the second-largest economy in South Asia, Bangladesh is an emerging market, centred around the capital of Dhaka. In recent years, it has focused on improving health and education levels across the country. Bengali is the main language, though dozens of languages are spoken in the country.
