• Bangla Language takes its birth from a form of Prakrit in the tenth century. The Bengali script has been derived from the Brahmi alphabet in 273 to 232 BC. History of Bengali language has been divided into three eras – Old Bengali (950-1350), Middle Bengali (1350-1800) and Modern Bengali (1800 to the present day).

• Bengali or Bangla/ বাংলা is the native language to the region of Bengal, which includes Bangladesh and few Indian states West Bengal, Tripura and southern Assam. It is written using the Bengali alphabet.

• Bengali is the national language in Bangladesh and second most spoken language in India. With about 250 million native and about 300 million total speakers worldwide, it is the seventh most spoken language in the world by total number of native speakers.

History of Bangla Language

• Before 1971 Pakistan was divided into two regions- East & West. Present Bangladesh was known as East Pakistan and present Pakistan known as West Pakistan. The then Government of Pakistan imposed Urdu as the sole language to be spoken across the country. The East Pakistan, holding a vast number of people speaking Bengali, denied to follow the law. The students of Dhaka University and other political activists arranged a provincial protest on 21st February 1952. To discourage the strike, the Government invoked curfew. Several students and other people who participated in the protest were shot by the police mercilessly and then killed.

• This supreme sacrifice has eventually led to the recognition of preservation of mother languages worldwide. At the initiative of Bangladesh government in 17th November 1999 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted 21st February as the International Mother Language Day. For the first time, UNESCO observed 21st February, 2000 as the International Mother Language Day.  It was formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution establishing 2008 as the International Year of Languages.
