Fun and Interesting Bengali Interpreting Facts You Should Know

The sixth most spoken language in the world, Bengali is actually spoken by 230 million people, 193 million of which are Bangladesh natives. This means there are actually more people who know Bengali interpreting than those who know Portuguese, French, or even German! Learning Bengali is fun and exciting, especially when knowing about its rich history and evolution.

You've probably heard of Bengali before as it is spoken in different regions in the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, India, and Saudi Arabia. Bengali is also known as Bangla, Banga-Bhasa, and Bangala so if anyone asks you if you want to learn Bangla/Banga-Bhasa/Bangala interpreting, then say 'jee-in!' (This means ‘yes!’).

A Bloody History

Bangla was actually fought for by Bengali students and activists during the Language Movement on February 21, 1952, when Pakistan wanted to implement the use of the Urdu language in Bangladesh. The fight for the establishment and recognition of the Bengali language outlaid the lives of Bengali people who fought for the right to speak the language of their ancestors. Now, Bangladesh, as well as different parts of the world, celebrates International Mother Language Day on February 21st, in commemoration of the love of one's language.

Basic Bengali Interpreting

Saying Hello in Bengali can be done in two different ways based on religion: 'Salaam,' if you are Muslim, or 'Naw Mo Shkar,' if you are Hindu. Bangladesh is a deeply religious country mainly composed of Muslim and Hindu practitioners.

Respect and formalities are very important for a Bengali local that is why you should be very cautious with your choice of Bengali words to avoid causing any troubles. 'Aabar dekha hobe,' which translates to 'we will meet again,' is a respectful and friendly way of saying goodbye. 'Aapni' is a formal term for 'you,' while 'kemon ache' is a formal way of asking 'how are you?' You can use informal Bengali language with people whom you are close to.

If you are looking for someone in Bangladesh who can speak English, you can ask him or her, 'apni ki Ingerji janen?' (Do you know English). 'Apni ki Bangla,' on the other hand, translates to 'Do you know Bangla?'

Bengali interpreting can be really tough at first, especially with being aware of the difference between the informal and formal structures of their language. Knowing someone fluent in this beautiful language will help you understand it better, and it will also improve your Bangla interpreting skills in no time.
