Language History
Bengali belongs to the Indo-Aryan family of languages and its history roots back to the 12th century BCE. Old Bengali was prominent in the tenth or eleventh century, its source being derived from The Charyapada or Charva songs – a collection of 48 prayer songs in the Buddhist tradition. Along came the 15th century and Old Bengali slowly transitioned into Middle Bengali until the 19th century. This form of Bengali can be found in many religious texts, however it is New, or Modern Bengali which is the dominant language today. In the late 19th and early 20th century, New Bengali was declared the official language of the Bengal region.
According to Britannica, Bengali is spoken by more than 200 million people in the world.
