The Bengali (Bangla) language is cool and not enough people talk about it

The Bengali language, also known as Bangla, is very neat in my opinion, from its pleasant sound in songs, to its simple but interesting grammar, and not enough people in language spaces discuss it.

First non-Indic person I've heard who could actually say ঢ (dh). Well done!

[afrinchry]

You actually pronounced it Dhaka and not Dacca, this is so cool

[afrinchry]

Every time you pronounce a bangla word, your slight accent makes me weirdly happy

as an indian bengali (+both sides of my family was displaced in 1971 from bangladesh) i think i could predict that 99% of the viewers would also be bengalis and i do not mind and i am so glad to see someone non-bengali talk about it hehehaha

Yes, Bengali is so CRIMINALLY underrated that even Bengali people don't recognise the potential of their language, and give more focus to English or some other language. ( Caste and education related politics are major reasons for this)

two common thoughts as an American watching these videos:
1. Of course our government was involved in an atrocity
2. Can't even comprehend how language is viewed in some regions of the world... So fucking cool

[rashikajmain]

Literally clapped when you perfectly pronunced the sounds ❤🇧🇩

[crazybfg]

Bangla is so underrated. It is like portugesse where a lot of people speak it but no one learns it. Also do video on Panjabi

[justsomeguy]

For a top 10 language in the world, Bengali sure lacks a lot of content and exposure. Thanks for making this video which is very well researched.

I remember here in France, we would learn how our language is so high on the list of most spoken languages (which is good for globalization and stuff), and among those ranking above French (idk where that 310 mil figure came from, maybe massive population growth in francophone Africa?), Bengali was always the one that I (and most of my classmates) didn't know anything about. I'm glad that more people are giving attention to non-European languages nowadays.

2:58 The /h/ in Sylhet is silent, but at least someone's finally talking about Bangla.

[roku]

As an Indian Bengali I thank you for making a video about our language not many people talk about it

[thatvexiol]

Being a language nerd from West Bengal and a regular viewer of yours ...i have been waiting for this video for over a year, i am genuinely shocked at how good your pronounciation of the Bengali words were!

[Inescapeium]

আমার ভাষা নিয়ে ভিডিও বানানের জন্য আমি আপনাকে আন্তরিকভাবে ধন্যবাদ জানাই!
I greatly appreciate you for making a video regarding my language!

[reesh]

I'm currently learning bengal along with spanish and was desperately waiting for this video since the community post

[breseph]

I feel shocked and disgusted that we haven't yet been taught about the Bangladesh genocide. I only learned about it today, that is absolutely heartbreaking. Awesome video bro

[ritabanbasak]

Your pronunciation of "Bangla" is better than most English speaker I have heard till now.

[ummenasima]

As a Bangladeshi your bangla pronunciation definitely made me happy

[yrysf]

Living in Calcutta for 3 years, now I underdstand Bangla. To me Bangla is the classiest indian language

[grandparick]

Alhamdulillah as a Bangladeshi, I feel very happy and proud that you made a video about our language since our ancestors fought and gave their life for this language.
