Noakhailla dialect has no presence in formal settings, neither in Bangladesh nor India, though its standardisation has been prospected. There is a post-modernist demand of the Noakhali Division due to the old history, tradition and culture of Noakhali (currently a district of Chittagong Division) Bangladesh by Noakhailla activists. The movement has gained disrepute and commonly been the subject of meme culture and trolling in Bangladesh.
