At first my eyes got stuck in a line. The line is, a whole lot of fire in our veins. This line has inspired me to read the whole post.
I can't help but admire the writings of some of the authors of this post.
@simplifylife as you say, language is a means of getting closer to people and connecting with people much deeper than the soul. Although the sentence is simple, I think it is the best sentence to express the identity of the language.
@notacinephile --Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is absolutely science based. It is said that when a person learns a new language, his thoughts change according to that language. It would be nice if I could explain a little bit more about Sapir-Whorf.
@surrealfia You have thought deeply about the fact that when we speak a foreign language to a foreigner, no matter how good our vocabulary is, there is a deep gap. A very nice thought.
@chrysanthemum has brought about a subtle, complex and sensitive subject through you. Are foreign words like Persian, Hindi, Urdu etc. resources of Bengali language? Your quote, Bengali language was born from Indo-European language. So those words must be in Bengali language.
@minhajulmredol Brother, I didn't want to read your article at first. But the description of your writing has started in such a wonderful way that I am compelled to read your entire writing. One thing that makes me feel bad is that the parents of the students of English medium schools in our country are sacrificing their mother tongue or their ethnic identity for the betterment of their children.
Thank you for your feedback. I just want to let you know that Bengali is a beautiful language containing the best linguistic and phonological properties. and, for the question you asked; I must suggest you to read any literature (preferably Novel). I think you will be amazed to find many foreign words and expressions which are not Bengali at all,
Many of them are considered as Bengali words now a days. I guess you've found your answer.
I don't have any problem with English Medium, the problem is putting them in the corner only by focusing on the other identity leaving the real ones. A balance is required otherwise it would be like betrayal.
thank you... yes, I was trying to point it out... over the years I have gotten to know a few people from different countries... sometimes I don't understand what they're saying and sometimes they don't
