Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Dhakaiya Urdu sometimes referred [unofficially] to as Sobbasi Language, Khosbasi Language and the Language of Dhaka Nawab Family is a distinct Bengalinized dialect of Urdu that is native to Old Dhaka beside Dhakaiya Kutti in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was spoken by the city's Sobbas community, Khusbas community, Nawab Family, and other native communities. Sobbasi / Khosbasi is not the Name / Noun but Adjective and identifies some communities and not any language. The usage of this language is gradually declining due to negative perceptions following it being forced upon the people of erstwhile East Bengal.[1]Today, Dhakaiya Urdu is one of the two dialects of Urdu spoken in Bangladesh; the other one being the Urdu spoken by the Biharis and Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh.
