The Bengali Language Movement Inspired the UN International Mother Language Day<\/h2>\n

The potential influence of Tibeto-Burman languages on the phonology of Eastern Bengali is used to explain the lack of nasalised vowels and an alveolar articulation of what are categorised as the “cerebral” consonants (as opposed to the postalveolar articulation of western Bengal). The local Apabhra\u1e43\u015ba of the eastern subcontinent, Purbi Apabhra\u1e43\u015ba or Abahatta (lit.\u2009’meaningless sounds’), eventually evolved into regional dialects, which in turn formed three groups, the Bengali\u2013Assamese languages, the Bihari languages, and the Odia language. All the marginal dialects of the Bangla language naturally get mixed up with the neighbouring forms. But the dialects of sylhet, noakhali and chittagong are so different from Bangali that it is best to consider these spoken forms as separate dialects.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Hajong is considered a separate language, although it shares similarities to Northern Bengali dialects. In Pakistan, Bengali is a recognised secondary language in the city of Karachi mainly spoken by stranded Bengalis of Pakistan. Bengali adopted many words from Arabic and Persian, which was a manifestation of Islamic culture on the language. Subsequent Muslim rulers actively promoted the literary development of Bengali, allowing it to become the most spoken vernacular language in the Sultanate. Though some archaeologists claim that some 10th-century texts were in Bengali, it is not certain whether they represent a differentiated language or whether they represent a stage when Eastern Indo-Aryan languages were differentiating.<\/p>\n

In standard colloquial Bangla, the case ending for indirect objects is -ke (-\u0995\u09c7), the genitive case-ending is -(e)r -(\u098f)\u09b0 and the locative case ending is -(e)te -(\u098f)\u09a4\u09c7. In compound sentences, the connecting words have the least stress. The length of vowel sounds is sometimes prolonged, influenced by emotion or voice projection ki-i? Stress usually falls on the first syllable of a word and on the first word of a meaningful phrase. Hindus use Sanskrit and Bangla words, while Muslims use Urdu and Arabic words, eg kaka\/chacha (uncle), ma\/amma (mother), baba\/abba (father), didi\/bubu (sister), dada\/bhaiya (brother), jal\/pani (water) mamsa\/goxt.<\/p>\n
