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.

[@urldroidsuperbot2139]

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.

Ekla Chalo is the most played Bengali song in Sri Lanka, because Sri Lankan people liked the melody and original music video.

[@ruwanfonseka]

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 KZbin. 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 KZbin => kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWK7laSaeLWendE

[@ruwanfonseka]

​@@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.

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.

totally wrong. Technically, theoretically, linguistically, in every aspect our national anthem is written in BENGALI..Not in Hindi.

[@SUBHADIPHOTA]

@@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!

[@blueman710]

@@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.

[@SUBHADIPHOTA]

@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]

Yes... but it's easy to sing in 'any' of the Indian languages... which was a factor for choosing it as the anthem.

[@SUBHADIPHOTA]

@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.

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 😊

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"

BTW sylheti has different script and literature. Chittagonian also has different literature.

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..!!

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.

[@user-wl3dh5nq7c]

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"

I am really impressed how you have studied about charjyapad and it's language as well.

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.
