Interesting facts about the language
Bengali belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family, a subfamily of Indo-European languages. Thus, the languages of this language area are at least distantly related to German. Among the most important Indo-Aryan languages are Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit, but Romani, spoken in Europe, also belongs to this language family. However, the speakers of this branch of the language are predominantly located in Nepal, Central India, Sri Lanka, or Bangladesh.
Bengali is spoken as a native language by approximately 215 million people, ranking seventh on the list of world languages. Over 140 million of these native speakers live in Bangladesh, a country in South Asia, where Bengali is also the official language. Bengali is also spoken by over 75 million people in India, where it is one of 22 officially recognized official languages and is spoken primarily in the Indian provinces of West Bengal and Tripura.
Bengali is written in its own script, the Brahmi script. It is similar to the Devanagari script, which is also used to write Hindi and Sanskrit. The first evidence of the origin of Bengali was recorded as early as 1000 AD in the form of a collection of songs called the Charyapada. The first written documents, primarily of religious content, date back to the early 14th century. The alphabet consists of eleven vowels and 36 consonants. There are also ten vowel abbreviations used in conjunction with the corresponding vowel.
