Bengali or Bangla is the language in Bangladesh. The country name Bangladesh actually means âCountry of Banglaâ. Everyone in this country speak Bangla, except some tribal people in the hill-tract area.
Bengali was the focus, in 1951â52, of the Bengali Language Movement (Bhasha Andolon) in what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). [17] Although the Bengali language was spoken by the majority of Pakistan's population, Urdu was legislated as the sole national language. [18]
