Bangladesh is the eighth-most populated country in the world with almost 2.2% of the world's population. As per the final results of the 2022 Census of Bangladesh, the country's population is 169,828,911.{{Cite web |date=August 2022 |title=Population and Housing Census 2022 Preliminary Report |url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T0uDswlsJxK3RuBbFZrdecFLIkjCT4UA/view?usp=embed_facebook |access-date=8 October 2022 |website=Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics |archive-date=8 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221008215051/https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T0uDswlsJxK3RuBbFZrdecFLIkjCT4UA/view?usp=embed_facebook |url-status=live }} Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world.
Bangladesh (previously East Pakistan between 1947 and 1971 and East Bengal before 1947) is largely ethnically homogeneous and its name derives from the Bengali ethno-linguistic group which comprises 99% of the population. The Chittagong Hill Tracts, Sylhet, Mymensingh, Barisal and North Bengal regions are home to diverse tribal peoples. There are many dialects of Bengali spoken throughout the region. The dialect spoken by those in Chittagong and Sylhet are particularly distinctive. About (91.04%) of Bangladeshis are Muslims, followed by Hindus (largest-minority) at (7.95%), Buddhists (0.61%) and Christians (0.30%) and others (0.12%) as per 2022 census.
Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world. The total fertility rate (TFR) has been reduced by more than two thirds since Independence. The current TFR in Bangladesh is 1.930 per woman,{{cite web | url=https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/BGD/bangladesh/fertility-rate | title=Bangladesh Fertility Rate 1950-2023 | access-date=26 May 2023 | archive-date=26 May 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230526051855/https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/BGD/bangladesh/fertility-rate | url-status=live }} globally considered to be below the benchmark for replacement level fertility.
At this TFR and without migration, Bangladesh's population is expected to soon reach a stage where it neither grows nor shrinks, once the top of its age pyramid fills in.{{cite news |title=Healthy Change |url=https://www.dandc.eu/en/article/how-bangladesh-reduced-average-number-children-woman-mere-21 |author=Najma Rizvi |website=Dandc.eu |date=16 June 2018 |access-date=29 October 2018 |archive-date=29 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181029155518/https://www.dandc.eu/en/article/how-bangladesh-reduced-average-number-children-woman-mere-21 |url-status=live }}

Ethnic group
The vast majority (about 99%) of Bangladeshis are of the Bengali ethno-linguistic group. This group also spans the neighbouring Indian province of West Bengal. Minority ethnic groups include Meitei, Tripuri, Marma, Tanchangya, Barua, Khasi, Santhals, Chakma, Rakhine, Garo, Biharis, Oraons, and Mundas.
Biharis are Urdu-speaking, non-Bengalis who emigrated from the state of Bihar and other parts of northern India during the 1947 partition. They are concentrated in the Dhaka and Rangpur areas and number some 300,000.{{cite web |title=Socio-economic Problems of the Urdu Speaking Residents at Mohammadpur |url=http://www.dwatch-bd.org/ggtp/Research%20Reports/research3.pdf |publisher=Democracy Watch |access-date=12 April 2011 |archive-date=12 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612081936/http://www.dwatch-bd.org/ggtp/Research%20Reports/research3.pdf |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Persoob |first=Tasmia |title=The Forgotten Community: Camp Based Urdu Speaking People in Bangladesh |url=http://akira-foundation.org/Documents/fellow%20product%20%28Tasmia%29.pdf |publisher=Jahangirnagar University |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322152732/http://akira-foundation.org/Documents/fellow%20product%20%28Tasmia%29.pdf |archive-date=22 March 2012 |access-date=12 April 2011}} In the 1971 independence war many of them sided with Pakistan, as they stood to lose their positions in the upper levels of society.[http://countrystudies.us/bangladesh/29.htm Ethnic and Linguistic Diversity] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328224733/http://countrystudies.us/bangladesh/29.htm |date=28 March 2014 }}, Bangladesh: A Country Study, Edited by James Heitzman and Robert Worden, Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1989. Hundreds of thousands went to Pakistan and those that remained were interned in refugee camps. Their population declined from about 1 million in 1971 to 600,000 in the late 1980s.

Bangladesh's tribal population was enumerated at 897,828 in the 1981 census. These tribes are concentrated in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and around Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. They are of Sino-Tibetan descent and differ markedly in their social customs, religion, language and level of development. They speak Tibeto-Burman languages and most are Buddhist or Hindu. The four largest tribes are Chakmas, Marmas, Tipperas, Tanchangya, and Mros. Smaller groups include the Santals in Rajshahi and Dinajpur, and Khasis, Garos, and Khajons in Mymensingh and Sylhet regions.
There are small communities of Meitei people (alias Manipuri people) in the Sylhet district, which is close to the Meitei homeland across the border in Manipur, India.{{Cite web |title=Manipuri, The |url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Manipuri,_The |access-date=26 November 2023 |website=Banglapedia |place=Bangladesh |language=en |archive-date=26 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231026045836/https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Manipuri,_The |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=The Manipuri Ethnic Group in Bangladesh |url=https://www.bangladesh.com/blog/the-manipuri-ethnic-group-in-bangladesh/ |access-date=26 November 2023 |website=Bangladesh.com |language=en-US |archive-date=26 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231126111835/https://www.bangladesh.com/blog/the-manipuri-ethnic-group-in-bangladesh/ |url-status=live }}
There is a large population of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar near the border in the southeast. There are 28,000 living in two UN refugee camps in Cox's Bazar as well as some 200,000 "unregistered people of concern" living outside of the camps.[http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/page?page=49e487546 2010 Regional Operations Profile – South-East Asia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110818153025/http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/page?page=49e487546 |date=18 August 2011 }}, United Nations High Commission for Refugees, 2010. The refugee crisis originated in the early 1990s when the first wave numbering some 250,000 of the predominantly Muslim ethnic group fled persecution from their home in Rakhaine—Myanmar's westernmost state. Bangladesh seeks to repatriate the refugees back to Myanmar.{{cite news |title=Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh refuse repatriation |url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gAUv3NW-WgdhhVGoQX3y7xbRroTw |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130124212129/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gAUv3NW-WgdhhVGoQX3y7xbRroTw |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 January 2013 |agency=Agence France-Presse |date=30 December 2009}} Since 2017, there are approximately 1.1 million Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh.
