Up to now, the closest I can get is that it seems to be an Iranian language. Maybe Tajik?

Baluchi This is an Indo-Iranian language. http://www.claritaslux.com/blog I write a lot about languages of the world but this is my best guess

Aeetlrcreejl is the closest so far. It isn’t Bangla (Bengali), but is related to that language.

assamese or oriya?

Not Assamese or Oriya either.

The answer is Sylheti (Siloti) which is spoken in Sylhet, Bangladesh and neighboring parts of India. It used to be written with the Siloti Nagri script, although now it is written with the Bengali script.
