Talk:Bengali

As regards the introductory page, shouldn't the chapter on Reading be under Section 1 instead of Before you begin ?--Henry Dalton (discuss • contribs) 10:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * No, no, I believe (since I am the inconsistent main editor at the moment even though I am also under 18) that, as a Bengali person myself, literacy is important in learning a language, and also the lessons (from the beginning) will use mostly exclusively Bengali text, so it would be pointless to begin if the reader does not know how to interpret the Eastern Nagari abugida.

Also, I think this book should contain a link to Wikijunior:Languages/Bengali? I verily believe that it is an excellent introduction to start with. Perhaps it should be added to the book as a chapter or a paraphrased page? --Henry Dalton (discuss • contribs) 10:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I will add a link, but the Wikijunior page should not be added as a chapter in itself: rather, the material in the page should be transferred where possible to the right sections. Mahir256 (discuss • contribs) 19:22, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Can this Wikibook have it's sections organised differently and added to by any user? I want to change the Before you begin category. The page শব্দ will be moved to Section 1 and Before you begin should contain links and summaries to and about the history, culture and online resources for Bengali.--Henry Dalton (discuss • contribs) 17:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * It would not be worth it to have any user re-organize the contents; that would create conflict in the system. As do many other language textbooks, cultural references are usually scattered throughout the book, so that is how it will be done. Regarding শব্দ, see the previous notes.

Book name
Bengali is an Anglicized colonial naming of the languages spoken by the people of Bangladesh. I think we should change the name to Bangla. Mr. sust (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Same Book
This is the same book as bn:বাংলা_ভাষা but it does not appear in the language side bar. Mr. sust (discuss • contribs) 22:43, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
