Classification of the Bengali Language
The Bengali language is classified as a member of the Indo-Aryan subgroup of the Indo-Iranian group of languages, part of the Indo-European language family.
Despite its classification as an Indo-European language, Bengali also exhibits a variety of influences from other Southeast Asian language families, including the Tibeto-Burman and Austro-Asiatic.
Early Bengali: Relationship to Assamese and Oriya
Whatever the exact origins of Bengali, linguists generally agree that Bengali was once part of a single linguistic branch along with the Oriya and Assamese languages.
Written Bengali Language
The written form of the Bengali language is derived from the ancient Indian Brahmi script, specifically from the eastern version of the Brahmi script.
Efforts Toward Standardizing the Bengali Language
The process of standardizing Bengali spelling was not formally undertaken until the 20th century when the University of Calcutta initiated a series of spelling reforms designed to help standardize the Bengali language in 1936.
The more genteel Sadhubhasa form was greatly influenced by early Bengali language poetry, and by the 19th century it had established itself as the language of Bengali literature, business and other formal communication.
Bengali Language Dialects
A number of regional dialects exist within the Bengali language in both India and Bangladesh.
Bengali in India
With an estimated 85 million Bengali speakers, India is home to the largest number of Bengali speakers outside of Bangladesh.
