(আমি বাংলাদেশ থেকে বলছি।) I am speaking from Bangladesh. I am proud that the people of my country Bangladesh gave their lives for the language. And Bangladesh Language Day is celebrated on 21st February as their mother tongue day all over the world.
"After waking up in the morning, either chat on Facebook or WhatsApp." Tonak nodded as soon as he heard the gentle remark of the man of the house.
Hey, I've been reading with my mobile since morning. On the other hand, the blank pages of writing about 'Language Day' are fluttering in the wind.
Sit down to write again. Writing some fat chewing on ‘endangered mother tongue’. That is, "I sing in Bengali, I sing in Bengali, ... I speak in Bengali, I float in Bengali, I smile in Bengal, I wake up in Bengal ..." I repeat the song in the words and tune of artist Protul Mukherjee.
Even though I have done a lot of literary work in Bengali, I know that I myself speak a very good ‘Khichuri’ language, especially at times.
As soon as I sat down to chat that chat, I started the conversation in the form of habijabi in SMS message. It's customary. There is no point in thinking.
No matter how much we brag about Bengali and Bengaliness, we are in a sense too hypocritical. But look, this 'I', 'you', we think we are Bengalis. Yes, we are accustomed to living in Mumbai, but we are actually Bengalis.
Our mother tongue is pure Bengali. Although it contains Hindi English, some Marathi words or phrases.
Language is the medium of expression. Although it is difficult to say when people first learned to speak. In the Stone Age, when the ancients lived only on the fruits of trees and the meat of wild animals, they were forced to express their feelings or express themselves.
Gradually the language and its spread began to change. With the passage of time, more and more languages have been created from one language. There has been a change in the language according to the rules of time.
Turning the pages of history, it can be seen that the ancient Brahmi script was in vogue in the fourth century BC about two and a half thousand years ago. Long after this, the inscription of Emperor Ashoka was created around 250 BC.
After that, Kunal script, Gupta script, Maurya script, Aryal script, crooked script etc. were created during the Gupta period. The ancient Bengali script was created around the time of one thousand AD. The Bengali script was also created through many changes.
Bengali language also has its own alphabet. Where many languages do not have their own alphabet, they write using the alphabet of other languages. It is a matter of great pride for Bengali speakers to have their own alphabet in Bengali.
People all over the world now speak about five thousand languages. One third of which is the language used in Africa. Which are related to each other in terms of pronunciation, use of words and sentence construction.
Linguists have divided these languages into about twenty families. However, it is interesting to note that Bengali is one of the state languages of Sierra Leone in Africa. On the other hand, as a result of evolution, the Old English language has also undergone many new practical changes.
The traditional Old English language was a combination of various regional and indigenous languages of England. The grammar and vocabulary used in the language coexisted with the people of the Scandinavian countries.
The English language is a mixture of Roman German Greek Latin words. The fifteenth century was the beginning of modern English.
The acceptance of modern English in the sixteenth century came through Shakespeare's writings. And there is a lot of difference between the first English vocabulary in 1804 and the modern English word here.
It is surprising to hear that the language spoken by more than one billion people in the world is Chinese. For a time, more than half of the world's books were printed in Chinese. About seventy thousand symbols are used in Chinese words.
This language is more prevalent mainly in Taiwan and China. About 100 million people in the world speak French. After all, French is the official language of Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Africa and Italy.
In Brazil, parts of Asia and Africa, and in Portugal, Portuguese is spoken by just over 13 million people. Two and a half billion people in the Balkans and Romania speak Roman. Although the Greek language was introduced during the Maya civilization, the Maya civilization was destroyed.
Later, the Greek alphabet was written in the late eighth century BC. The modern Greek language was developed anew with the independence of Greece in 1830. More than 33 million people in the world now speak Spanish. Spanish is the state language of Chile, Mexico, Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Guinea, Cuba, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Venezuela, El Salvador, etc.
Spanish is even practiced in Canada, Morocco, the Philippines, and the United States. As Spain began to expand its colonies, their language spread throughout almost every part of the Americas. Although Spain was later defeated by American colonial rule in the eighteenth century, Spanish became the state language of almost all nations in Latin America.
Arabic is one of the members of the Semitic language family. This language has been around for thousands of years, such as Hebrew Giz Sirika Aramaic Punik Moabite Nabatian
We believe in pure Bengali. Even from Mumbai. We read expensive Dhakai Jamdani in Attapur style on New Year's Day. Big tip on forehead, a little branch vermilion. At home on the day of Bengali New Year, white potato chutney and fried eggplant are fried with fulko luchi and black cumin raw chilli for breakfast.
Bangaliana feast at a well-known restaurant to keep pace with the times. Mochar bells, poppy seeds, oil koi, dhokar dalna, vhetki paturi, jhal on the side, sweet curd, rabri in earthen and banana leaves Even if you are in Calcutta, these adikhyetagulo a little more. Rabindranath is the only one in Shravan on 25th Baishakh Baishe.
(সবশেষে বলতে চাই আমি গর্বিত কারন আমি বাংলাদেশি।)Lastly, I am proud to say that I am Bangladeshi.
