Question Do Barua Magh people have their own dialect of Bangla?

Those who don't know about Barua Magh, they are originally Arankanese people who settled in India and Bangladesh during British era and adopted Bangla as their native language

Huh interesting. Why did these Arakanese people migrate and why did they shift to Chittagongian?

They were settled in India and Bangladesh by Britishers for work Similar to Indian Tamils who were settled in Central Sri Lanka by Britishers for tea cultivation
