- "Bengali is a sweet language" is almost a cliché. Beyond rumored UNESCO surveys declaring it to be the sweetest language, are there real facts grounded in linguistics that might explain why the language feels the way it does?
Let's explore through a fun journey of linguistics the multilayered cultures of India!

Even 'O' is so sweet that 'O' is used to call soulmate "Ogo sunchho" 😀😀
You are right Proud to be bengali

My aunty is a teacher so one-day she asked a student what is her father 's name that student tell my father 's name is ogo sunchoo. Everyone was laughing after hearing her answer.

I am an Indian, international student in UK and my house share in UK have 6 people from 6 different locations of India. The bengali boy while talking to his girlfriend over phone sounds the sweetest amongst all of us.
Whenever he say "WHY BENGALI IS SWEET" i am blushing continuesly 😳
down bad
Lol
Are we not going to talk about how sweet is this person's voice.
Id say I was shocked to see such a soft spoken person
Very True !
Yessss
He is so in love with bengali..that's why his voice has become so sweet 😊
@@sarkersaiful5122 I would say it is the other way round. It is his voice and personality that is making the language sound sweet. Truth of the matter is every language is sweet to someone to whom it is his mother tongue, and not so to whom it is a foreign language.
The fact that he doesn't even speak bengali but spoke bengali so beautifully is sooooo amazing💖💖💞💞💕💓💓💕
From what I've read, India in Pixels is from Odisha, and we all know how closely related Odia and Bengali are.
@@unclepodgermaybe but he is so good at bengali.
দাদা একদম 😇 ঠিক
@Pawan Adhana Yes. For example, व(wa) sound is missing in Bengali.
@Pawan Adhana So, I would like to hear you speak Bangla.
I am a bengali and I love bengali. In 1952 we fought for out language. We have sacrificed a lot of lives for our language. I am proud to be a bengali
In 1952, the language movement in East Pakistan was not to push Bangla as the only state language nor the mother language (mother languages can't be regulated by policy), for the sweetness of it's phonology but for denying Urdu as the only state language. The movement's agenda was to establish Bangla as one of the state languages side by side of Urdu. It was not an action but a reaction to the announcement of Urdu being the only state language.
But why?
West Pakistanis wanted Urdu as the only state language to accumulate all the positions in the government and to exercise superiority in different fields to colonize the East properly, to destroy its local culture and to slow down the existing education framework in the East, establishing systemic racism, making the East's people fall behind academically as well.
Then the faculty members at Dhaka University realized it at first and then eventually the students were informed. The students reacted and denied the West's evil design to monopolize all the govt sectors among other things.
To be honest, our students didn’t wake up on 21 February, 1952 and decided to die, but they were brutally murdered because they reacted to the oppression at all. The stakes were that high and it was so crucial for the West to have the colonizing tool, that they didn’t bat an eye shooting people.
Basically the Pakistanis wanted to be like the British colonizers, thinking they are the true heir. At the end of slavery, a former slave wanted to be the master of another free slave.
Though a lot of people in Bangladesh believe that the Pakistanis should be wiped off of the face of the planet. I think now we can just seat back and watch them kill themselves, watch them burn, being soaked in their own fuel.
how's that even happened 😂
language war or what
@@reallandshark Oh yeah, a full fledged war did happen approximately 20 years after the language movement in 1971. It happened because Pakistan was treating the Bangladeshi people like slaves. The whole population of a country systemically oppressed, can you believe it?
@@reallandsharkyou sound so ignorant
According to Google, Bangla is the most sweetest language in the world.. and the first language people died for protecting.. so UNESCO declared 21 Feb international mother language day..

He could have deleted the other two sha and added a va sound like Assamese but for some reason he kept it.
@@islandsunset adds more clarity, I guess... 🤔
@@quentinosaurus7966 if redundant letters were removed then a few others could have been removed too.
No one, and I mean NO ONE in South Asia, comes close to Vidyasagar's legacy. He was a top top scholar/academic/social reformer/activist/writer/linguist and almost equally successful in all of them. He reformed Bengali prose language, he criticized and reformed Hinduism, liberalized and secularized our culture, started widow-remarriage and championed women's education, modernized our universities, made our thinking far more cosmopolitan and internationalist, wrote prolifically, was an incredible professor, and helped everyone in need. Along with his predecessor Ram Mohan Roy, he was the first modern man in India. Everything that is good about Bengal, everything that makes this land the cultural and intellectual hub of South Asia and one of the most revered Asian/Oriental cultures in the western world, comes directly or indirectly from Vidyasagar. People glorify Tagore, Vivekananda and Subhash Bose, but Vidyasagar preceded all of them in his overall social and cultural impact.

@@risxy006in my opinion, there are many alphabets in Bangla language and literature, Bangla has a huge viriety of words and sounds than any other languages, that's why I think they can speak other languages so properly and learn faster.

As a Bangali, I admit that I have no idea why non-Bengalis find Bangla sweet. For me, I always found Bangla to be Royal, sophisticated, and sometimes even intimidating which was probably developed by upper-class Bengalis and has now transcended to middle-class people like me. I always found my grandmother's style of Bangla extremely intimidating when she use to talk to my mom and dad even though she was just having a normal conversation.
So you have no ideas about different accents and dialects of Bangla which is widely spoken around Bengal specially in Bangladesh?
@@srafid2000 true, I was only talking about standard kolkata Bengali. I grew up in Delhi so have limited knowledge. But I did learn the language last year so, progress I guess
Accents matter. The standard Bangla sounds sweet. But other dialects nor so much. Ah! I've become a linguist😂😂
I think, Bengali singers in bollywood play major role for this perception.
Same but I'm used to hearing dialects around me. But I always found the standard Bangla to sound very very sophisticated and serious sounding but sweet at the same time. I'm biased cause I'm native but I'm really glad Bangla is my mother tongue. I often find pretty words or poems and I want to share them with non Bengali friends only to worry the words will sound strange to them and not as melodious as it is to me.

The whole video I thought that he is definitely a Bengali, because he has pronounced some words exactly the same way we do. And this is also the point which he tried to make, that its one of the easiest languages of India to adopt.
His efforts were fantastic. That said, he often mispronounced the two অs, (the ö-type and the aw-type). Not much, but a born Bengali would have detected them at first listening.
Easy to adopt only if you speak one of those Sanskrit languages like hindi, oriya, marathi, assamiya, etc . For Dravidian people it is as tough as hindi, why wouldn't it be

When you learn Rabindra sangeet these differences of long and short sound pronunciation is taught distinctively, the songs are also composed in that way.
Yes I noticed it also
Very true! And also, all of the linguistic findings in this video can be discovered just by studying Rabindra Sangeet as well. Rabindranath uses a lot of shared Sanskrit-root words (especially in his Gitanjali) that makes it an easy transition for a Hindi speaker to take a compare-and-contrast approach to finding Bangla's secret recipe of sweetness.

Nothing to be more proud to be a bengali.

Bengalis are forgetting their own language and culture.

@@abhishek_singh9 Any idea how the Bihari/NonBengali muslims were treated in east Pakistan after the Bangladesh liberation war??
Infact the very day the Pakistani army surrendered, the Bihari muslims were dragged out of their houses and massacred using the machine guns left by the Pak army.....anti bengali sentiments runs through Hindbelt's veins, no matter which religion they belong to! That's why the Assamese carried out a full scale demolish Hindi population operation in their state during the early 20's!!

As a proud Bengali, I absolutely love this video! Your sincere admiration and respect for our language is very clearly palpable, and I think you did an amazing job.
However, I do want to clarify one minor mistake on the topic of schwa and schwa retention in Bengali. Firstly, the actual sound of the schwa is more accurately represented by a shorter version of English “aw,” somewhat akin to Devanagari “औ,” at least as I know it to be pronounced in standard Hindi. It can sometimes be pronounced as /o/ (as in “toe” or “हो”), but this is a phonological phenomenon that diverts from the norm. For example, “ধর্ম” (Devanagari: “धर्म”) is pronounced roughly like “dhôrmo” (Devanagari: “धौर्मो”) where “ô” represents the “aw” sound. This word also has a schwa at the end, and this time it is pronounced as /o/ because we Bengalis don’t like to have multiple syllables with the standard schwa sound in direct succession.
This leads me to the other thing, which is that while Bengali does practice schwa retention, it doesn’t always retain the schwa. Consider the very simple second person singular pronoun: “আপনি” (Devanagari: आपनि). This literally reads out “āpôni,” (Devanagari: “आपौनी”) but is nonetheless pronounced in reality like “āpni” (Devanagari: “आप्नी”). As another example, the word “पथ” (Devanagari: “पथ”) was transliterated as “potho” in the video, when in actuality it is pronounced as “pôth” (Devanagari: पौथ्), with the same schwa deletion at the end of the word as you find in a language like Hindi.
In a nutshell, schwa deletion is an inconsistent mess in Bengali, and you need to just know when to and when not to delete it in Bengali, though there is some level of intuition that you can build to help guide you. Once again, amazing video! অনেক ধন্যবাদ এবং জয় বাংলা।
It feels so sweet and comes from heart because we had to fight for it ✊🇧🇩

Great job!
Well...as a Bengali, I must say, ড় and ঢ় do still have their actual sound in Bengali,but some people now a days seem not to pronounce them properly(even 'educated' people,in fact,them the most). If you listen to old Bengali songs, you will find the ঢ় and ড় there, existing in their actual form. In a flow, it's a bit softer than the actual sound,but definately not like র।
True that!
absolutely
Can't agree more! The letter 'ড়' exists, and the actual sound is not like 'র' and if it's pronounced in that way, that's actually wrong. পরা vs পড়া , করা vs কড়া etc. I think while taking example, it's better to put a clip from the actual singer Lagnajita as Melissa is not a native speaker. Although it's a very sweet attempt by her to sing that song but we can't expect her to pronounce all the words correctly. Anyway, I liked the content and the analysis.

Chittagonian is not a dialect of Bangla. It’s rather a separate language. It’s termed as a dialect of Bangla because of political reason.

Just found out Jana Gana Mana (Indian National Anthem), was actually composed in Bengali language as 'Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata' by Rabindranath Tagore.
Bengali is not only sweet but also the easiest to learn among other Indian languages (mostly bcoz of absence of gender identification for subject/object).
There is no gender identification in verbs, but there are gendered words. We learn gender change in grammar as well
Yes there are 4 genders like English but we don't use it as verbs
Bro wdym you just found out 💀
Both Jana Gana Mana & Vande Mataram (written by another legend of a Bengali - Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay) are written in a register of Bangla called Sadhu Bhasha which is a purely Sanskrit-based form of Bangla. Most of the prominent Bengali writers of the Revolution Era wrote in this register. Most people do not know this and mistaken both songs as pure Sanskrit when in fact, when they were first sung they were probably sung with Bengali pronunciation 'Jano Gano Mano Odhinaayako Jayo He, Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata (you can actually hear this pronunciation when Rabindranath recites it himself). That being said, I urge everyone to read the full hymn written by Rabindranath 'Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata.' There is a line of it that goes:
"Your call is announced continuously, we heed Your gracious call
The Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Muslims and Christians,
The East and the West come together, to the side of Your throne
And weave the garland of love.
Oh! You who bring in the unity of the people! Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!
Victory, victory, victory to You!"

As a Bangali I must say that your analysis is wonderful. And I must also admit that your Bengali pronunciation is surprisingly good!

My 🇱🇰 first name in Hindi almost always gets pronounced as Kanish, as Kanishkaa is mostly a female name in India but whenever Bengalis see it they go Konishko, which sounds like a natural male term. My Sinhalese last name Wijesekara is pronounced Bijoyshekor which I guess India in Pixels will talk about in another video!

Bengalis and Sinhalese people are long lost brothers divided by a history of thousand of years. And interestingly we share a lot of native words in many ways, apart from the Sanskrit Prakit and pali words.
A small correction: The Bengali schwa isn't limited to just the "o" sound. It can also be the "aw" sound. While words like "onto" use the o sound, words like "hobe" uses the aw sound. So you pronounce is as hawbe, aka "abar dekha hawbe" and not "abar dekha hobe". Hope this helps :) good content.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the schwa (or deleted schwa) refer only to the syllable at the end- not in the middle.
@@RajibAdityaNayan yes .. you are right .. schwa is actually the ending... not in between...

Beautifully made video! Just one slight correction, Bangla does have the ঢ sound though, much more similar to ढ than र. Take for example the capital city of Bangladesh, ঢাকা -> ढाका. I would also argue for pedagogy's sake that the Bengali ঢ় (ḍhô-e shunyô ṛhô), similar to the Hindi ढ़, tends to often be pronounced more like it should be, i.e., with the prominent voiced retroflex flap, compared to the other similar sounds র (र in Hindi) and ড় (ड़ in Hindi). An illustration, for example, would be the word রাঢ়ী (Rāṛhī), used for the standard Nadia dialect of Bangla, spoken in most of urban West Bengal as well as in the Kushtia region of Western Bangladesh. But this distinction tends to vary with the geographical regions of Bengal, i.e., Western Bangalis tend to make this distinction slightly more overtly as compared to Eastern Bangalis, and this distinction, as you said, is subjective like most topics in linguistics!
Superb video once again, coming from a native speaker! ❤️
The ড sound is also pretty prominently pronounced, not like र, more like ड, for example the Bangla word ডামাডোল (डामाडोल), which means clamor or fracas!
This comment needs more likes. You gave a great insight. Oh, can you tell me how you used the accentuation marks on the letters?
I commented the same. Even বাড়ি has that retroflex ড় in it. And আষাঢ় the ঢ়.
Also the ড় sound.
Exactly. Also the video make a mistake in confusing inherent vowel with schwa deletion. Many East Indian IA languages have the inherent vowel o instead of a like in Marathi or Gujarati or Hindi and therefore the schwa ending of Bengali words is also o and sounds rounder like the figure he showed.
Being a Odia, I know that there are so much similarities between Odia, Bengali and Assamese as they originate from common language Magadhi but Odia has much similarity with Sanskrit.
Bangla has connection with sanskrit too but how we speak now days bangla there are little less semilareity u can find but "Tathsama Bangla"is sound like sanskrit which we do not speak so much this days and for a fact our national anthem is written in Tathsama Bangla
@SIDDHAARTH MANIAN Because Rabindranath Tagore ( Rabindranath Thakur) is Bengali

My mother is from Chittagong and Dad is from Kolkata. However, they both grew up in Chattisgarh and then moved to Gujrat where I was born. So my Bengali has influences of multiple cultures and that's the fundamental nature of "probashi bangali". It's great to see this deconstruction. Gives me an outsiders view from the inside while I experience being a Bengali from the outside looking in.

Brilliant video mate! As a native Bengali speaker, I haven’t seen any content anywhere that discusses the nuances of Bengali letters with such clarity and details. One minor thing which could be added to this video is that we do not have the Z sound in Bengali. We approximate the Z sound with J sound which are represented by য and জ. Z sound is an acquired sound by the “educated” class or people who have had access to schools where teachers actually know how to pronounce the letter Z correctly. People are often judged/made fun of for pronouncing Z sounds like J.
I think Pakistani people have a similar thing in that most have a tendency to pronounce V as W. Pakistani people usually pronounce the word Vinegar and Winegar whilst those who have had a lot of exposure to English can usually get the V sound. However sometimes even in the UK we come across some Pakistani people who still say Winegar and Wery instead of Very. It's hard not to find it funny and perceive them as less intelligent.
Bengalis tend to use a B sound in place of V. Bery and Binegar don't sound as wrong to me but maybe I am biased because I am Bengali and my parents would use B instead of V.
>Why does Bengali sound so sweet?
