.. cut ...
> Tibetian_Bengali 

to keep it short, right now it looks like it could be something close to
Chittagonian (Bengali dialect)
http://www.rosettaproject.org/live/search/detailedlanguagerecord?ethnocode=CIT
(0 texts available ...)
and Chakma (which sometimes is described as a Bangla dialect, sometimes a
separate Indoeuropean language, some believe it belongs to Tibetan/Burmese
languages ... 1 piece of texts found)
http://www.worldscriptures.org/pages/chakma.html

to try a translation, 
we should travel to Chittagong, to learn well these tongues, to study local
herbal medecine ar folklore_cotheeka's ... or to try to find somebody familiar
with these...
