Good video. In the reformation and Standardization of Bengali language the person, wh o contributed most was Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. He was also a social reformer and responsible for legalizing widow marriage in India. He wrote a basic text book to learn Bengali alphabets for kids,( Borna Parichay) in the year 1855 and the book is still in use even after so many years.He was one of the leading flag bearer of Bengal renaissance. I would like to mention one more important thing about the Bengali language and that is Bengali is a non-phonetic language just like French. That means from spelling itself you cannot understand how a word is pronounced.
I saw from google search that you have used the Oxford University definitions of Sanskrit and Prakrit. As a native Bengali speaker and one who studied Bengali literature up to high school, including origins of Bengali language, let me give definitions as given to me by one of my teachers. It makes perfect sense and the Oxford definition makes no sense at all. That is why I felt compelled to write here, just under your pinned comment and for the very first time. The word "Sanskrit" even today would mean "refined" that is something that has been "reformed, improved, cultured." Something that has been done "Sanskar". It is not arcane enough that I would believe the Oxford definition. The word "Prakrit" means "natural", derived from the word for nature "Prakriti". That would mean the native, natural language of the people. Now, coming to the national anthem of India, IT IS WRITTEN IN BANGLA. You declaring it written in Hindi, really degrades your language channel. I suggest you edit and repost the video. Rabindranath Tagore was a Kolkata born Bengali poet from a very rich family, his grandfather connected to the British Empire and one of the richest Indian of his time. He was the editor of a Bengali Magazine Tattobodhini Potrika, where he published his poem first in Bengali of course, in Bangla script. Rabindranath never wrote in Hindi. Bengal being the centre of British India till that time, and Bengalis being the most elite of all Indians, there was little interest among Bengalis to learn or write in Hindi language. Virtually no one in that period of time in Kolkata and of Bengali extraction, would read and write Hindi. In the event of King George V coming to India in December 1911, to be coronated as "Emperor of India", the song was sung for the first time in 11th December, 1911. Despite subsequent denials about its "meaning", even by Rabindranath himself, any Bengali person will understand that it was sung in praise of the King of England. It was reported as such by newspapers in Kolkata of the day, like The Statesman. The King of England did one thing officially on that trip that certainly delighted Rabindranath, he repealed the partition of Bengal which all Bengalis disliked, done to split Bengal along religious lines to dampen the fight for Independence in 1905. Subsequently, the Indian National Congress had adopted the song as a national anthem and finally in the Constituent Assembly the flag and anthem were chosen. There could have been much better, plainly patriotic, songs chosen for the same.
Some people come into our lives and go and in between, they make our lives better in some way or the other. No matter what caused you both to get separated from each other, you can stay as friends without holding grudges against each other, I mean, that is the least that we all can do, else it would be sad.
I never heard the the title or heard the song "Ekla Chalo" that you mentioned although I am from Sri Lanka. After reading your comment, I came across the song on RUclips. The most famous song with Bengali lyrics I have heard is the Indian National Anthem. My favourite Bengali song is the Sri Lankan song by the Sri Lankan music legend Sunil Santha who shaped the Sinhala music industry in Sri Lanka with his own music style, while he sang one of his songs in the Bengali language which was called Bondu Re and you can listen to it via this link on RUclips => ruclips.net/video/s1XdqdCPkgo/видео.html
@@JuLingo Were you able to checkout the Bengali song sung by the famous Sri Lankan Music Legend in Sri Lanka Sunil Santha that I shared above in another comment about the Song titled Bondu Re (recorded by Sunil Santha) . The Lyrics shared in the video above although the language of the song is in the Bengali Language, the Lyrics seen in the video are written in the Sri Lankan native Sinhala Language Script. According to what I am aware Bondu Re was the only Bengali Song that he had recorded before he died in Sri Lanka.
You said "ঘ" so well - in total proper Bangla. Thank you for doing this content on our language and I loved seeing Shaheed Minar in this video. We fought for our language. Lots of love from Bangladesh
@@Akashprodipjole Bangladeshi Sylhetis do not consider themselves as indian they are Bangladeshi because Sylhet is entirely in Bangladesh. Sylhetis are there in Meghalaya and Assam also those are indian but don't talk about Bangladeshi sylhetis.
Thank you for this video from a native Bengali speaker from Kolkata, India! Bengali is our pride as it boasts a rich literary and cultural heritage. Been following your videos since long as you always present detailed and intriguing content. Lots of love ❤
Bangladeshi band songs are very diverse. You can explore them. One point I would like to add is that Bangladeshi Bengali culture and Indian Bengali culture are not the same.
@kumar_8420 not really Bangladesh has different dialects of Bangla regardless of religion such as Dhakaiya, Chatgaiya, Sylheti and lot of other dialects that influence the procholito Bangla used in BD
Bangla is the 6th largest language club of the world.As a Bangladeshi by birth my nationality i speaks Bangla like 40 crore of other People of the world specially in Bangladesh, (West Bengal,Assam, Meghalaya, Bihar,Jharkhand, Tripura,Odisha etc Province of India).I love my language a lot.This language makes me a legend.Bangla language Zindabaad,all Haram murda Thak.🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
One thing I must add. Bengali has a very rich literature. If Bengali was a familiar language in Europe, it would have bagged the most noble prize by a non-european language. Rabindranath received it because he was a very familiar figure in Europe at that time. Many more would have received the noble if they were as familiar as Rabindranath in Europe, or the language had a good familiarity in Europe.
Very well explaind with correct informations 😊 Loved it. It's like a whole chapter in my life, cz my mother is from Bengal, but my Dad is Japanese so I've never been to Kolkata or never even got the opportunity to meet any Bengali speakers, except my Mother.(Though I always found that Bengali is extremely similar to Japanese, whether in it's pronunciations or in it's grammar, rules etc.) May God bless you ❤
There is one most significant man missing in this discussion, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. He has a significant role in comprising the modern bengali grammar and letters that we use now, without the mention of his "Bornoparichoy" the history of our language will be incomplete.
@@blueman710 No doubt, the song was written in Bengali. But, may be of any modern Indian IEL with slight change in pronunciation. If you pronounce JANO GANO MANO ...then it's BANGLA and it is Hindi if pronounced JANA GANA MANA . Difference between any two modern Indian IEL is so little!
@@SUBHADIPHOTA Pronunciation differences do not change the original language of a piece. I commented against the video stating that it is technically Hindi, which is not accurate. The transition from Jano Gano Mano to Jana Gana Mana can occur in many Indian languages, not just Hindi. However, this subtle alteration does not mean it has become Hindi. Each language has its unique identity, and the anthem was originally composed in Bengali, and every Bengali should protest this misrepresentation.
@blueman710 Actually, the song was composed in Bangla and Rabindranath himself sang it in 1911. It was adopted as the National Anthem in 1950 and only the first stanza in Devnagri script. Pronunciation in Devnagri becomes like JANA GANA .... Some say that , it's the Hindi version, though I don't know whether the adopters announced it to be the Hindi version or not . But, linguistically, it may be so. I wanted to tell about that .
@RonBhattacharya You are correct. The language can pass for Hindi or Gujarati or Rajasthani or Bihari or Marathi if the Os are pronounced as A . It can be called AXOMIYA only if you pronounce ZA for JA and HA for SA . Rabindranath wrote it keeping in mind the entire India . So, every language of India should have rights over it . This anthem shows every day how close all the languages of India are . Though there's no doubt it was written in Bengali at first. Actually, it has potential to be World Anthem if BHARATA, PUNJABA ....etc. are dropped and Engraja , Soudi etc. are incorporated. Rabindranath here hails controller of fate of humanity and asks boon for every one.

You can never understand the full spectrum of the Bengali language if you do not come to Bangladesh. The differences among various dialects give the language a rich diversity which is totally awesome. Nowadays Chittagonian and Sylheti have become so distinct from Bangla that they are considered different language forms by many scholars. As a non native to Bengal you did a pretty good job presenting a total and concise history of our beloved mother tongue. Thank you. ❤
Totally. It is sad to see how the standardized Shadhu Bangla overshadows the regional and local bangla. Eastern Bangla spoken in Brahmanbaria has more consonants than Hawaiian and Arakanese(chittagongian) Dhobashi bangla has a rich history of Bangla in persian script.
Bangladeshi বাংলা is a forceful mixture of Urdu(50%)+Hindi(20%)+ and rest of gibberish Bengali. And more than half of bangladeshi is illiterate. Example: Bengali---->Urdu বাবা---->আব্বু মা---->আম্মু জল---->পানি Also Bangladeshi converted muslims isn't a part of the historical rich Bengali culture. Bangladeshi blindly follow the culture of Arabic muslims (who also don't recognize them as muslims). What an irony, they also accepted Pakistan(who savaged and raped them) as their father! Also there are '0' bangladeshi people who ever won a noble prize in their literature or any of the constructive causes. No renowned Bangladeshi player in any kind of sports as well. '0' olympic medal till now, also they always stay in the last in cricket(national sports of Bangladesh). No famous doctors, engineers, scientists you ever heard of are Bangladeshi. Their only pride is their mass production of the population who claim them as Bengali. What a shame..!!

I am a Bengali from the state of West Bengal , India. আমার আপনার বাংলা ভাষার ওপর ভিডিওটা খুব ভালো লাগলো (I really Loved your Video on Bengali Language) আমি চাই আপনি আরো ভিডিও বানান বিভিন্ন ভাষার ওপর (I would like it if you make more Language related videos) একজন ভাষাবিজ্ঞানী হিসেবে আমি বলতে পারি আপনার ভিডিও গুলি খুব ভালো (As a linguist I can say that your videos are really brief and helpful). If you can then you can make a video on different dialects of Bengali , especially the dialect of Chittagong, Bangladesh cause they have influence of South East Asian languages like Thai , Burmese etc. As for your craving for hearing more Bengali, you can hear Rabindrasangeet, my favourite is "আনন্দ ধরা বহিছে ভুবনে" which literally means "Joyous breeze fills the air"
When the national anthem was accepted, it was not classified as hindi, but as the anthem was written in bengali, it is in bengali, still it is sung in bengali, hindi and other accents regarding where it is being sung, but majorly in international sports events generally it is sung in hindi accent

you have done an excellent presentation on Bengali language. This is well researched, and as others have mentioned, you explained it better than Bengali teachers in the national curriculum
You might be Bangaladeshi but not Bengali.. because you all speak a hybrid of Bengali & Arabic/Urdu... So you cannot identify yourself as Bengali... In Bengali Water is called *JoL* not *Pani* ... Father is called *pita/Baba* ..not Abba/Abbu

Incredible video! The way you explained Bangla language was spot-on. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge! I am sure you have spent quite bit effort on this one. Your pronunciations were also perfect.
@@christianfrommuslim Bengalj and Assamese are very close to Odia they are so similar. You can translate word by word with the same meaning and they will sound the same with little variation. My dilect Sambalpuri is more similar to Bengali Assamese so it took me less than 30 days to become fluent in these two
@kumbhartoshashu kouthu bhai Nagamese is a creole language made up of Assamese and very much similar to it. So if you know Assamese it will be very much easier to you to learn Nagamese
@@christianfrommuslim yeah.. the Sambalpur region (present day western Odisha) has its distinct culture art crafts language music dance food and many more. Glad that you got Sambalpuri cloth.

Quite informative. Thanks for your contribution. We, the Bangladeshi people, are fortunate that 99/% of the population speak one language in the country.
You forgot to mention Satyajit Ray one of the first Non-European to win Honorary Academy Award for his works in Bengali Films. Forbes declared him to be the 8th Greatest Film Director of all time. Bengali language served as the link language for South and Southeast Asia for thousands of years. From the holy city of *Varanasi in Northern India* to the *Arakans of the Myanmar* The word *Bungalow* is literally derived from Bangla depicting the Bengali architecture of houses. But, unfortunately modern day Bengal has been greatly affected by centuries of misgovernance of the British Economic, Cultural and Social Policies by the famines and droughts. Hence, its insignificant position in the global order. We all hope and believe *Bengal* will rise to its former glory sooner than we think 😊
There are many common words between Bengali and Farsi and Bengali and Portuguese besides Sanskrit and English. The first documented attempt to write down Bengali grammar was by a Portuguese person whom hardly any Bengali or even any Portuguese person knows about. I learnt about him through an RUclips video and if yiu ask me I will have to go back to that to get his name.
I love how you research this language. I am a Bengali speaking person love my language much. The skill you narrated it's history I appreciate and worthy of commendation. Ami tomake valo bese felechi. ✌🙏
My mother tongue is Chittagonian.But I speak Bangla as my second language.It is a very rich language and it has a thousand years old history. Love from Bangladesh.
@@Ariyan_1709 It depends who do you ask. There are two different schools of thought about sylheti and chittagonian language . Some says they are completetly different language like asamese.
@@kaziahad8960 dialect and language difference is more political than linguistical. We are fully culturally and politically Bangladeshi. So it's a dialect.
@@Ariyan_1709 I am not saying chittagongonian and sylheti are not bangladeshi. The language they use is not mutually intelligible which is one of the criteria to become different language. BTW sylheti has different script and literature. Chittagonian also has different literature. Because of bengali renaissance during 19th century and after that bengali nationalism during pakistani era, all language in east bengal were considered a form of bengali. Btw Sylheti in UK study in sylheti dialects
I am really impressed how you have studied about charjyapad and it's language as well. Being a native bengli speaker only one point I would like to correct here, our National anthem is actually Bengali. It doesn't matter how it's being pronounced it is Bengali , it is a very big poem, the whole poem if you go through there are words which are typical bengali words not sanskrit. Eg. Gahe tabo jayo gatha. Tabo shubho asisho mage. Gahe and mage are bengali words used only in poetry.
I noticed some similarities between Bangla and Japanese: koro (do in english) is kuru in Japanese; there are counter suffixes - "der" is the same in both, jon in Bangla is jin in Japanese for person; hamaguri (to crawl) means snail in Japanese (the way it moves?); choto (small) is chiotto in Japanese and soto in Latin (?) as in sotovoce, etc.
I am Indian and i speack bengali. this is my first language . you trust me this language was too good and sound are also good আমি ভারতীয় এবং আমি বাংলা বলতে পারি। এটা আমার প্রথম ভাষা। আপনি আমাকে বিশ্বাস করেন যে এই ভাষাটি খুব ভাল এবং শব্দও ভাল
Your videos are always amazing juli, very informative and with excellent production...you don't post often but when you do I know it will always be pure quality ❤
Bravo you really did your homework. Congrats for your interest to learn all about the Bengali language. I am a Bengali I think Bengali sounds sweet when the proper Bengali is spoken, there are many dialects people from different parts of Bangladesh speak their own dialect, Chittagong dialect sounds like a different language. Which is not easy to understand if you are not from Chittagong. Thank you for your hard work. I'm interested to know which language you have chosen for your next video.
Dhonnobad. Your presentation is good but you forgot to mention one man that is Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar. He was the first to introduce the Bengali community to the Bengali alphabet through his written book 'Varnaparichaya'.
As a native Bengali speaker, I thank you for this informative video. Just a small correction, India's national anthem is in Bengali, not in Hindi. People sing it with different dialects, that's ok, but the languageis still Bengali. Jana Gana Mana is a 5 stanza Bengali song composed by Rabindranath Tagore, of which only the first stanza is counted as India's national anthem, without changing a single word.
The "Bangla is the sweetest language" is a very Sub-continent thing. Only they can differentiate their own language with Bangla, most of of us people outside of the Sub-continent have no idea whatsoever what makes it 'sound' sweet.
the sweetness is multifaceted , its the language sounds which are gentle eliminates hard and tough sounds, its smooth and poetic , the geography, the cuisine, the riverine deltas and sweet fresh water and fertile soils and the homely mother like nature and society overall is the reason why its sweet and gentle overall! the famous poet Jibanananda Das wrote "i have seen the face of Bengal, thus I dont want to find the beauty of the world anymore"
Gitanjali (Bengali: গীতাঞ্জলি, lit. ''Song offering'') is a collection of poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, ****for its English translation****

I think you quit right. But that's time not our modern age nor India is independent. That's time quite difficult. Rabindranath Tagore was a greatest poet in our Bengali litrature and also 1st asian who won the noble prize. Please respect him.
As a bangladeshi, i am awed by how much effort you must have put into this to make such a wonderful video, and how beautifully and CORRECTLY you described each part, including our language history. অনেক অনেক ভালোবাসা
I have many Indian friends, because I'm studying Sanskrit and I quite frequently come across comments about the Bengali language sounding sweet. It seems to be the Italian of India.
@@MedinipuriTuka036 yeah I agree both are beautiful languages in india and got appreciation from each other poets and coincidentally Both film industries named as tollywood. Telugu is the sweetest in southern India and bengali is sweeter in northern India. Because of Telugu's language structure the Italian person nicolo di conti named Telugu as Italian of the east
@@rische-z3z In Europe, we often compare sweet sounding languages to Italian. Turkish also is referred to as "the Italian of the East". Most westerners are familiar with the sound of Italian because of opera. It is our standard for comparing other beautiful languages to.

listening your Bengali accent is a gift for me 💝
I just one thing to say ধন্যবাদ (Thank You)❤
Glad you found it interesting!
Bangladeshi band songs are very diverse. You can explore them. One point I would like to add is that Bangladeshi Bengali culture and Indian Bengali culture are not the same.
As per religious aspect
Actually the difference looks big only from up close. Take a look from outside and it's practically same with some difference in detail.
@kumar_8420 not really Bangladesh has different dialects of Bangla regardless of religion such as Dhakaiya, Chatgaiya, Sylheti and lot of other dialects that influence the procholito Bangla used in BD

Bangla is the 6th largest language club of the world.As a Bangladeshi by birth my nationality i speaks Bangla like 40 crore of other People of the world specially in Bangladesh, (West Bengal,Assam, Meghalaya, Bihar,Jharkhand, Tripura,Odisha etc Province of India).I love my language a lot.This language makes me a legend.Bangla language Zindabaad,all Haram murda Thak.🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
One thing I must add. Bengali has a very rich literature. If Bengali was a familiar language in Europe, it would have bagged the most noble prize by a non-european language. Rabindranath received it because he was a very familiar figure in Europe at that time. Many more would have received the noble if they were as familiar as Rabindranath in Europe, or the language had a good familiarity in Europe.

Thank you, Julie, for learning about the significance and cultural heritage of Bangla, my mother tongue, and for highlighting it on social media.
With ❤ and Support from West Bengal, India.
Very well explaind with correct informations 😊
Loved it.
It's like a whole chapter in my life, cz my mother is from Bengal, but my Dad is Japanese so I've never been to Kolkata or never even got the opportunity to meet any Bengali speakers, except my Mother.(Though I always found that Bengali is extremely similar to Japanese, whether in it's pronunciations or in it's grammar, rules etc.)
May God bless you ❤
Yeah, the grammatical particles and word order really matches up with Japanese

There is one most significant man missing in this discussion, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. He has a significant role in comprising the modern bengali grammar and letters that we use now, without the mention of his "Bornoparichoy" the history of our language will be incomplete.

Well done Julie! As always you have done a great job, this time with regard to my mother tongue Bengali. Joy Bangla!
totally wrong. Technically, theoretically, linguistically, in every aspect our national anthem is written in BENGALI..Not in Hindi.
@@blueman710 No doubt, the song was written in Bengali. But, may be of any modern Indian IEL with slight change in pronunciation. If you pronounce JANO GANO MANO ...then it's BANGLA and it is Hindi if pronounced JANA GANA MANA . Difference between any two modern Indian IEL is so little!
@@SUBHADIPHOTA Pronunciation differences do not change the original language of a piece. I commented against the video stating that it is technically Hindi, which is not accurate. The transition from Jano Gano Mano to Jana Gana Mana can occur in many Indian languages, not just Hindi. However, this subtle alteration does not mean it has become Hindi. Each language has its unique identity, and the anthem was originally composed in Bengali, and every Bengali should protest this misrepresentation.
@blueman710 Actually, the song was composed in Bangla and Rabindranath himself sang it in 1911. It was adopted as the National Anthem in 1950 and only the first stanza in Devnagri script. Pronunciation in Devnagri becomes like JANA GANA .... Some say that , it's the Hindi version, though I don't know whether the adopters announced it to be the Hindi version or not . But, linguistically, it may be so. I wanted to tell about that .
Yes... but it's easy to sing in 'any' of the Indian languages... which was a factor for choosing it as the anthem.
@RonBhattacharya You are correct. The language can pass for Hindi or Gujarati or Rajasthani or Bihari or Marathi if the Os are pronounced as A . It can be called AXOMIYA only if you pronounce ZA for JA and HA for SA . Rabindranath wrote it keeping in mind the entire India . So, every language of India should have rights over it . This anthem shows every day how close all the languages of India are . Though there's no doubt it was written in Bengali at first. Actually, it has potential to be World Anthem if BHARATA, PUNJABA ....etc. are dropped and Engraja , Soudi etc. are incorporated. Rabindranath here hails controller of fate of humanity and asks boon for every one.
We are proud to be bengali. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️

As a Bengali speaker, thank you!
Thank you too!
You can never understand the full spectrum of the Bengali language if you do not come to Bangladesh. The differences among various dialects give the language a rich diversity which is totally awesome. Nowadays Chittagonian and Sylheti have become so distinct from Bangla that they are considered different language forms by many scholars.
As a non native to Bengal you did a pretty good job presenting a total and concise history of our beloved mother tongue. Thank you. ❤
Totally. It is sad to see how the standardized Shadhu Bangla overshadows the regional and local bangla. Eastern Bangla spoken in Brahmanbaria has more consonants than Hawaiian and Arakanese(chittagongian) Dhobashi bangla has a rich history of Bangla in persian script.
as a ghonti, I totally agree it
Sorry to say, now, their is too much Urdu and Arabic in Bangladeshi Bangla. Basha tai ekhon paani-paani hoyeigeseh. 😊
Bangladeshi বাংলা is a forceful mixture of Urdu(50%)+Hindi(20%)+ and rest of gibberish Bengali. And more than half of bangladeshi is illiterate.
Example:
Bengali---->Urdu
বাবা---->আব্বু
মা---->আম্মু
জল---->পানি
Also Bangladeshi converted muslims isn't a part of the historical rich Bengali culture. Bangladeshi blindly follow the culture of Arabic muslims (who also don't recognize them as muslims).
What an irony, they also accepted Pakistan(who savaged and raped them) as their father!
Also there are '0' bangladeshi people who ever won a noble prize in their literature or any of the constructive causes.
No renowned Bangladeshi player in any kind of sports as well. '0' olympic medal till now, also they always stay in the last in cricket(national sports of Bangladesh).
No famous doctors, engineers, scientists you ever heard of are Bangladeshi.
Their only pride is their mass production of the population who claim them as Bengali.
What a shame..!!

If you can then you can make a video on different dialects of Bengali , especially the dialect of Chittagong, Bangladesh cause they have influence of South East Asian languages like Thai , Burmese etc. As for your craving for hearing more Bengali, you can hear Rabindrasangeet, my favourite is "আনন্দ ধরা বহিছে ভুবনে" which literally means "Joyous breeze fills the air"
When the national anthem was accepted, it was not classified as hindi, but as the anthem was written in bengali, it is in bengali, still it is sung in bengali, hindi and other accents regarding where it is being sung, but majorly in international sports events generally it is sung in hindi accent
Lol in games only lyrics are played not anthem.

Quite informative. Thanks for your contribution. We, the Bangladeshi people, are fortunate that 99/% of the population speak one language in the country.
Bengali totally sounds like an Indo-European language. At first my brain was tricked I thought the man was speaking Spanish.
I'm Bengali and indeed it is an Indo-European language.
I am a bengali and learned spanish recently and indeed I realised sounds very similar to Spanish, I mean for me Spanish sounds similar to Bengali!!
haha, it is!
Because "ami" is first person pronoun. It sounds like you are expressing an opinion in Spanish "A mi" 😂
Very well explained, no bias and based on facts 👍. Only possible for a student of Bangla language who has done enough research
You forgot to mention Satyajit Ray one of the first Non-European to win Honorary Academy Award for his works in Bengali Films. Forbes declared him to be the 8th Greatest Film Director of all time. Bengali language served as the link language for South and Southeast Asia for thousands of years. From the holy city of *Varanasi in Northern India* to the *Arakans of the Myanmar* The word *Bungalow* is literally derived from Bangla depicting the Bengali architecture of houses. But, unfortunately modern day Bengal has been greatly affected by centuries of misgovernance of the British Economic, Cultural and Social Policies by the famines and droughts. Hence, its insignificant position in the global order. We all hope and believe *Bengal* will rise to its former glory sooner than we think 😊
There are many common words between Bengali and Farsi and Bengali and Portuguese besides Sanskrit and English.
The first documented attempt to write down Bengali grammar was by a Portuguese person whom hardly any Bengali or even any Portuguese person knows about. I learnt about him through an RUclips video and if yiu ask me I will have to go back to that to get his name.

@@kaziahad8960 dialect and language difference is more political than linguistical. We are fully culturally and politically Bangladeshi. So it's a dialect.
@@Ariyan_1709 I am not saying chittagongonian and sylheti are not bangladeshi. The language they use is not mutually intelligible which is one of the criteria to become different language. BTW sylheti has different script and literature. Chittagonian also has different literature. Because of bengali renaissance during 19th century and after that bengali nationalism during pakistani era, all language in east bengal were considered a form of bengali. Btw Sylheti in UK study in sylheti dialects

I am really impressed how you have studied about charjyapad and it's language as well. Being a native bengli speaker only one point I would like to correct here, our National anthem is actually Bengali. It doesn't matter how it's being pronounced it is Bengali , it is a very big poem, the whole poem if you go through there are words which are typical bengali words not sanskrit.
Eg. Gahe tabo jayo gatha.
Tabo shubho asisho mage.
Gahe and mage are bengali words used only in poetry.

I noticed some similarities between Bangla and Japanese: koro (do in english) is kuru in Japanese; there are counter suffixes - "der" is the same in both, jon in Bangla is jin in Japanese for person; hamaguri (to crawl) means snail in Japanese (the way it moves?); choto (small) is chiotto in Japanese and soto in Latin (?) as in sotovoce, etc.
It is very fascinating to see that the research is done very deeply, appreciated that

Bravo you really did your homework. Congrats for your interest to learn all about the Bengali language. I am a Bengali I think Bengali sounds sweet when the proper Bengali is spoken, there are many dialects people from different parts of Bangladesh speak their own dialect, Chittagong dialect sounds like a different language.

Bengali is the sweetest language in the world.
As a native Bengali speaker, I thank you for this informative video. Just a small correction, India's national anthem is in Bengali, not in Hindi. People sing it with different dialects, that's ok, but the languageis still Bengali. Jana Gana Mana is a 5 stanza Bengali song composed by Rabindranath Tagore, of which only the first stanza is counted as India's national anthem, without changing a single word.
The "Bangla is the sweetest language" is a very Sub-continent thing. Only they can differentiate their own language with Bangla, most of of us people outside of the Sub-continent have no idea whatsoever what makes it 'sound' sweet.
the sweetness is multifaceted , its the language sounds which are gentle eliminates hard and tough sounds, its smooth and poetic , the geography, the cuisine, the riverine deltas and sweet fresh water and fertile soils and the homely mother like nature and society overall is the reason why its sweet and gentle overall! the famous poet Jibanananda Das wrote "i have seen the face of Bengal, thus I dont want to find the beauty of the world anymore"
Agreed
Loved the visuals and the algorithmic way of explaining!
Gitanjali (Bengali: গীতাঞ্জলি, lit. ''Song offering'') is a collection of poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, ****for its English translation****
Nobel prize is not a big deal

I have many Indian friends, because I'm studying Sanskrit and I quite frequently come across comments about the Bengali language sounding sweet. It seems to be the Italian of India.
That's Telugu the Italian of the east
@@rische-z3zyeah Bengali is the French of the East
@@MedinipuriTuka036 yeah I agree both are beautiful languages in india and got appreciation from each other poets and coincidentally Both film industries named as tollywood. Telugu is the sweetest in southern India and bengali is sweeter in northern India. Because of Telugu's language structure the Italian person nicolo di conti named Telugu as Italian of the east
I live in Italy and i can speak Italian and can you write some telegu in latin script ??@@rische-z3z
@@rische-z3z In Europe, we often compare sweet sounding languages to Italian. Turkish also is referred to as "the Italian of the East". Most westerners are familiar with the sound of Italian because of opera. It is our standard for comparing other beautiful languages to.
It so fantastic and detailed information and explanation.
