A country in South Asia, known for its Bengal culture and the Ganges River delta system.
From Bengali 'Bangladesh' meaning 'Bengal country', combining 'Bangla' (Bengali) + 'desh' (country). The name was adopted when East Pakistan became independent in 1971.
Bangladesh has more rivers than any other country of similar size - over 700! This maze of waterways in the world's largest delta makes it incredibly fertile but also vulnerable to flooding.
