This study explores the dynamic and evolving nature of the youth language in Bangladesh, examining both the linguistic features and the perceptions of young people about their language usage. Using a mixed-method approach, the research combines qualitative analysis of linguistic innovations with quantitative data gathered through surveys. The findings reveal significant changes in language practices among Bangladeshi youth, including the adoption of new slang, the mixing of codes with English and Hindi, and the creation of unique expressions that reflect modern values and technological influences. The study also highlights the positive perceptions of youth language in enriching cultural diversity and fostering effective communication among peers, while noting resistance to its acceptance in formal settings. The implications underscore the importance of understanding youth language as a significant cultural phenomenon with sociolinguistic impacts on identity, communication, and language evolution in Bangladesh.
