I'm not so sure but I've never heard of Bangali being taught at an academic level, am I right? Although some Islamic Schools teach it at GCSE masha'Allah.
I've studied Urdu, Gujrati and Arabic at School/6th Form and Uni...And the ways in which they were taught varied drastically.
I mean yeah, they all start off with the basics, alphabet etc but from there its all diff.
Hmm...I'm confused about bangali though, there are several types right? Sylheti, Dhakai? And the other one, the *posh* one, I cant remem the name of it. Lol
So0o0o, what advice would you give to somebody who wants to learn it, where to begin? Is it even possible without a teacher, without it being your mother-tongue?
Helppp Min Fadhlek!? (I guess somebody could begin by teaching me the Bangali word for please )
How would you address an elder? Because in Urdu, there are two words, aap or tum. App is the most respectful way of saying you....like 'How are u'....would be, Keysi hain aap, or summin...
In the Sylheti dialect, we use afne to address and elder and tumi for someone similar to your age and younger..
Liyu di liyan- I thought Shondesh and handesh were 2 different things..
Lol! I know! Cool innit?
Well, If I recall correctly the languages of the Indian Subcontinent all have one common origin and that's Sanskrit I think...
Have you already learned Guji?
I only know simple things like Kem che? lol!
