Bengali is one language I can understand a little. Gurudev says

Are you testing our Bengali knowledge???? :angry: :angry: :sick: :silly: :blink: :blush: :blush:

No I am sharing one of the greatest poet, an actor Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan combined together.
This shows that you did not see the video.

I can understand most languages of the North, East and wast of India. The languages I cannot understand are tribal like khasi, south Indian languages, Kasnmiri, Ladakhi. I can understand Assamese, Bengali, Marathi.

The main difference is alphabet. So, I favor using Roman alphabet and numerals for all languages

Yes this is Gurudeb's sangeet which I have heard in so many voices, this time in Amitabh's voice. I heard a Kishor's song in Bengali in Durgapur first time.

It's not properly quoted! It should be "Jodi Kayu Daak Shunne tor na assee, Tabe Ekla Cholo rey"! Meaning if none responds to your call, Go it alone! It was Indira Gandhi's most favourite Rabindrasangeets.

My Bengali friends always laugh me out whenever I speak in Bangal. Although I never laugh back when they speak in so differently in Hindi or any other languages. I told u I am not good at Bengali, but can speak it, that too when must, in rural areas. I hope I will get a chance to talk to you in Bengali one day.

@Sunil

It's a very famous song of Gurudev and one needs to be cautious about correctness of quotations! It'd be a pleasure to have a chat in Bengali one day- I hope!

Sunil You heared in Durgapur.I am from Dugapur. When did you come here?

Chinmay da, This was only a song sung by Amitabh I heard last night on youtube. I have heard Rabindera Sangeet on different channels and in different voices. I am one of the great lover of Bengali culture, language and the way Bengali talk. You know so unlike we Punjabi. :laugh: :laugh:

Just seen KAHANI movie yesterday night... Many Bengali words in it, and I don't understand many... But still its a sweet language.

Every language sounds sweet to one for whom it is his or her mother tongue!

They shoot the film KAHANI in Kolkata and many Bengali artists are in the film.

Yes its true.. and the story of the movie is quite good. It carries many local places from Kolkata.

I don't know other languages.from the regional languages i know little bit of Punjabi.I know Bengali is not a tough language and one can learn it easily. :)

Not easily, you must concentrate hard to learn it and unless you remain in constant touch you shall not be a good one. But who live there regularly can learn it with practice. Same goes for Assamese. I was there for 7-8 years off and on.

Yes you need to remain in the company of the people who speak that particular language you want to learn. :)

The truth is that any language would be lovable if you love it! Ideally once should learn the language of the state in which he or she resides. I can't understand why Pranab Mukherjee who has been in Delhi for the last 50 years can't speak in proper Hindi! Very shocking!!

Actually people who do not come in contact of local people or speak mostly in English while at business, do not get a chance to learn local languages. I tried hard wherever posted to learn that could make me go with the locals in difficult situations. Like in some places, interior mostly where they do not know Hindi or English, my knowledge, however small, came in handy.
