Also... if you count Pakistani Punjabis and Indian Sikhs as one group... might want to change the title from "ethnic" to "linguistic" to avoid confusion.

The people from Mirpur are Punjabis.

Good point.

In any case, but especially if you make it "linguistic", you should change the designation from Bangladeshi to Bengali.

A book called Desh Pardesh.

I'm not sure the proportion of kids who would go without learning English till school in the UK is different than that. Most Indians/Pakistanis are born in the UK now. Generally speaking 50% are UK born, 40% subcontinental, 10% Africa.

I made it Bangladeshi because the number for that is pretty precise and is available. I could have said West Bengali to make it more consistent.

Nonsense,. My mother is from Mirpur, and she's Bengali.

Anybody's who knows about North England has surely heard of Mirpur and the circumstances as to why they had to move from their area of Azad Kashmir.

It appears that Mirpur, Dhaka is the largest Mirpur.

How many?

More people in the Azad Kashmir Mirpur live abroad in England than in Pakistan.

Kind of - mostly - but they're quite different from Punjabis from Punjab.

For those that don't know, he's talking about the Mangla Dam.
