I am a bengali and I love bengali. In 1952 we fought for out language. We have sacrificed a lot of lives for our language. I am proud to be a bengali

[@dystopiansoothsayer]

In 1952, the language movement in East Pakistan was not to push Bangla as the only state language nor the mother language (mother languages can't be regulated by policy), for the sweetness of it's phonology but for denying Urdu as the only state language. The movement's agenda was to establish Bangla as one of the state languages side by side of Urdu. It was not an action but a reaction to the announcement of Urdu being the only state language. But why? West Pakistanis wanted Urdu as the only state language to accumulate all the positions in the government and to exercise superiority in different fields to colonize the East properly, to destroy its local culture and to slow down the existing education framework in the East, establishing systemic racism, making the East's people fall behind academically as well. Then the faculty members at Dhaka University realized it at first and then eventually the students were informed. The students reacted and denied the West's evil design to monopolize all the govt sectors among other things. To be honest, our students didn’t wake up on 21 February, 1952 and decided to die, but they were brutally murdered because they reacted to the oppression at all. The stakes were that high and it was so crucial for the West to have the colonizing tool, that they didn’t bat an eye shooting people. Basically the Pakistanis wanted to be like the British colonizers, thinking they are the true heir. At the end of slavery, a former slave wanted to be the master of another free slave. Though a lot of people in Bangladesh believe that the Pakistanis should be wiped off of the face of the planet. I think now we can just seat back and watch them kill themselves, watch them burn, being soaked in their own fuel.

[@alahiri2002]

As a proud Bengali, I absolutely love this video! Your sincere admiration and respect for our language is very clearly palpable, and I think you did an amazing job. However, I do want to clarify one minor mistake on the topic of schwa and schwa retention in Bengali. Firstly, the actual sound of the schwa is more accurately represented by a shorter version of English “aw,” somewhat akin to Devanagari “औ,” at least as I know it to be pronounced in standard Hindi. It can sometimes be pronounced as /o/ (as in “toe” or “हो”), but this is a phonological phenomenon that diverts from the norm. For example, “ধর্ম” (Devanagari: “धर्म”) is pronounced roughly like “dhôrmo” (Devanagari: “धौर्मो”) where “ô” represents the “aw” sound. This word also has a schwa at the end, and this time it is pronounced as /o/ because we Bengalis don’t like to have multiple syllables with the standard schwa sound in direct succession. This leads me to the other thing, which is that while Bengali does practice schwa retention, it doesn’t always retain the schwa. Consider the very simple second person singular pronoun: “আপনি” (Devanagari: आपनि). This literally reads out “āpôni,” (Devanagari: “आपौनी”) but is nonetheless pronounced in reality like “āpni” (Devanagari: “आप्नी”). As another example, the word “पथ” (Devanagari: “पथ”) was transliterated as “potho” in the video, when in actuality it is pronounced as “pôth” (Devanagari: पौथ्), with the same schwa deletion at the end of the word as you find in a language like Hindi. In a nutshell, schwa deletion is an inconsistent mess in Bengali, and you need to just know when to and when not to delete it in Bengali, though there is some level of intuition that you can build to help guide you. Once again, amazing video! অনেক ধন্যবাদ এবং জয় বাংলা।

No one, and I mean NO ONE in South Asia, comes close to Vidyasagar's legacy. He was a top top scholar/academic/social reformer/activist/writer/linguist and almost equally successful in all of them. He reformed Bengali prose language, he criticized and reformed Hinduism, liberalized and secularized our culture, started widow-remarriage and championed women's education, modernized our universities, made our thinking far more cosmopolitan and internationalist, wrote prolifically, was an incredible professor, and helped everyone in need. Along with his predecessor Ram Mohan Roy, he was the first modern man in India. Everything that is good about Bengal, everything that makes this land the cultural and intellectual hub of South Asia and one of the most revered Asian/Oriental cultures in the western world, comes directly or indirectly from Vidyasagar. People glorify Tagore, Vivekananda and Subhash Bose, but Vidyasagar preceded all of them in his overall social and cultural impact.

[@santoor_rishi]

Very true! And also, all of the linguistic findings in this video can be discovered just by studying Rabindra Sangeet as well. Rabindranath uses a lot of shared Sanskrit-root words (especially in his Gitanjali) that makes it an easy transition for a Hindi speaker to take a compare-and-contrast approach to finding Bangla's secret recipe of sweetness.

A small correction: The Bengali schwa isn't limited to just the "o" sound. It can also be the "aw" sound. While words like "onto" use the o sound, words like "hobe" uses the aw sound. So you pronounce is as hawbe, aka "abar dekha hawbe" and not "abar dekha hobe". Hope this helps :) good content.

As a Bangali, I admit that I have no idea why non-Bengalis find Bangla sweet. For me, I always found Bangla to be Royal, sophisticated, and sometimes even intimidating which was probably developed by upper-class Bengalis and has now transcended to middle-class people like me. I always found my grandmother's style of Bangla extremely intimidating when she use to talk to my mom and dad even though she was just having a normal conversation.

[@sarthak.chatterjee1]

Beautifully made video! Just one slight correction, Bangla does have the ঢ sound though, much more similar to ढ than र. Take for example the capital city of Bangladesh, ঢাকা -> ढाका. I would also argue for pedagogy's sake that the Bengali ঢ় (ḍhô-e shunyô ṛhô), similar to the Hindi ढ़, tends to often be pronounced more like it should be, i.e., with the prominent voiced retroflex flap, compared to the other similar sounds র (र in Hindi) and ড় (ड़ in Hindi). An illustration, for example, would be the word রাঢ়ী (Rāṛhī), used for the standard Nadia dialect of Bangla, spoken in most of urban West Bengal as well as in the Kushtia region of Western Bangladesh. But this distinction tends to vary with the geographical regions of Bengal, i.e., Western Bangalis tend to make this distinction slightly more overtly as compared to Eastern Bangalis, and this distinction, as you said, is subjective like most topics in linguistics! Superb video once again, coming from a native speaker! ❤️

[@sarthak.chatterjee1]

The ড sound is also pretty prominently pronounced, not like र, more like ड, for example the Bangla word ডামাডোল (डामाडोल), which means clamor or fracas!

[@souvikdeb2523]

[@islandsunset]

Exactly. Also the video make a mistake in confusing inherent vowel with schwa deletion. Many East Indian IA languages have the inherent vowel o instead of a like in Marathi or Gujarati or Hindi and therefore the schwa ending of Bengali words is also o and sounds rounder like the figure he showed.

[@santoor_rishi]

Both Jana Gana Mana & Vande Mataram (written by another legend of a Bengali - Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay) are written in a register of Bangla called Sadhu Bhasha which is a purely Sanskrit-based form of Bangla. Most of the prominent Bengali writers of the Revolution Era wrote in this register. Most people do not know this and mistaken both songs as pure Sanskrit when in fact, when they were first sung they were probably sung with Bengali pronunciation 'Jano Gano Mano Odhinaayako Jayo He, Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata (you can actually hear this pronunciation when Rabindranath recites it himself). That being said, I urge everyone to read the full hymn written by Rabindranath 'Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata.' There is a line of it that goes: "Your call is announced continuously, we heed Your gracious call The Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Muslims and Christians, The East and the West come together, to the side of Your throne And weave the garland of love. Oh! You who bring in the unity of the people! Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India! Victory, victory, victory to You!"

[@rossiuow]

Brilliant video mate! As a native Bengali speaker, I haven’t seen any content anywhere that discusses the nuances of Bengali letters with such clarity and details. One minor thing which could be added to this video is that we do not have the Z sound in Bengali. We approximate the Z sound with J sound which are represented by য and জ. Z sound is an acquired sound by the “educated” class or people who have had access to schools where teachers actually know how to pronounce the letter Z correctly. People are often judged/made fun of for pronouncing Z sounds like J.

[@dfpguitar]

I think Pakistani people have a similar thing in that most have a tendency to pronounce V as W. Pakistani people usually pronounce the word Vinegar and Winegar whilst those who have had a lot of exposure to English can usually get the V sound. However sometimes even in the UK we come across some Pakistani people who still say Winegar and Wery instead of Very. It's hard not to find it funny and perceive them as less intelligent. Bengalis tend to use a B sound in place of V. Bery and Binegar don't sound as wrong to me but maybe I am biased because I am Bengali and my parents would use B instead of V.

Bengali is the only language that came from fresh blood sacrifice of 1952. ✊ I am proud as a Bengali.💞🇧🇩

[@sohamthechamp007]

I am a Bengali and I feel really proud that this channel has showcased our language in such a beautiful manner and awsum presentation. And in "other" channel, Bengalis are humiliated and showcased how we fell and got finished.

When did you fall, after partition?

*Because Bengal has the blood of killing* *all ancient languages on its hands.* Maithili (Sita Kingdom) was clubbed with Magadhi by manipulation of linguistic studies. Sanskrit was destroyed by Ram Mohan Roy letter to UK PM William Pitt - 1823 (source - Book - Letters of Ram Mohun Roy)

I am literally crying.... Nothing to be more proud to be a bengali. In the era of learning English.. Bengalis are forgetting their own language and culture.

[@abhishek_singh9]

Soon we all will read about Bengali.. Culture, Literature, Dresses, Temples... etc. In. our History books.. Just like we read about Kashmir, Afghanistan, Pakistan... before islamization. ☺️🤗

@@abhishek_singh9 Any idea how the Bihari/NonBengali muslims were treated in east Pakistan after the Bangladesh liberation war?? Infact the very day the Pakistani army surrendered, the Bihari muslims were dragged out of their houses and massacred using the machine guns left by the Pak army.....anti bengali sentiments runs through Hindbelt's veins, no matter which religion they belong to! That's why the Assamese carried out a full scale demolish Hindi population operation in their state during the early 20's!!

As a Bangladeshi thanks,for saying bengal sounds sweet

[@manojmohan9893]

I speak quite a few languages, but the one language which makes me feel like I am singing in a rhythm is Bengali. It just rolls off your tongue. It was my quickest language to learn to speak. Although, I don't claim complete knowledge and perfect fluency. I lived for 2years in Kolkata - the best time of life. The city of Joy indeed.
