**Chauddagram** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): চৌদ্দগ্রাম) is an [upazila](/source/Upazila) of [Cumilla District](/source/Cumilla_District) in the Division of [Chittagong](/source/Chittagong_Division), [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh). It also a [Municipality](/source/Politics_of_Bangladesh) under [Cumilla District](/source/Cumilla_District).[4]

## History

From this region, a lot of revenue was collected in the King's treasury. The generous King also did a lot of good deeds in this area. The large reservoirs and dig of Chauddagram bear their identity. At that time, different geographical regions were called Parganas for the purpose of rent collection. Upazila was also a pargana headquarter at Chauddagram. As this pargana was established with fourteen villages, it was named Chauddagram. Later, when the thana was established in 1905, the whole thana was renamed Chauddagram after the name of the center.

## Language and Culture

The geo-nature and geographical location of the Chauddagram Upazila have played a role in shaping the language and culture of the people of this Upazila. Located in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh, this Upazila is surrounded by the Indian state of Tripura, Dhaka division, and other Upazilas of the Chittagong division. Here the main characteristics of the dialect are the same as in other Upazilas of Bangladesh, yet some diversity can be found. For example, in the spoken language, the sound of great life is largely absent, that is, there is a tendency to simplify the language. The regional Bengali dialect of Chauddagram Upazila is very similar to the dialect of the Dhaka region, the regional dialect of Laksam Upazila has some similarities to the dialect of the Noakhali area. Experts believe that Chauddagram has had a huge impact on the culture of Comilla district. The civilization of Chauddagram Upazila is very old. The archaeological artifacts found in this area and the ruins of the Buddhist Vihara are known to be the bearers of ancient civilizations.
