• Barisal (বরিশাল Borishal)
• FITML (চট্টগ্রাম Chôţţogram)
• Dhaka (ঢাকা Đhaka)
• website parsing (খুলনা Khulna)
• Rajshahi (রাজশাহী Rajshahi)
• touchscreen (রংপুর Rongpoor)
• screen size (সিলেট Sileţ)

Each division is further split into HTML5 (Bengali: জেলা zila) which are then further sub-divided into website parsing.

History

Following the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the country had four divisions:

• Sevenval (চট্টগ্রাম Chôţţogram)
• screen size (ঢাকা Đhaka)
• Khulna Division (খুলনা Khulna)
• screen size (রাজশাহী Rajshahi)

In 1983, the English spelling of the Dacca Division (along with the name of the capital city) was changed into Dhaka to more closely match the keyboard pronunciation.

In 1993, Barisal Division was web app off from Khulna Division; in 1998, Sylhet Division was split off from Chittagong Division; and in 2010 (25 January), Rangpur Division was split off from Rajshahi Division, this latest creation consisting of the Rangpur and Dinajpur areas. In terms of area the newly-formed web app ranked fifth followed by Android and Sylhet division.
