Primarily native to West Bengal in India, Bangladesh, and some parts of Tripura and Assam, the Bangla language, like all other Indian languages, forms a part of the Indo Aryan language family.
Bangla rose to become the 6th most spoken language in the world and the 2nd most spoken language of the Indian subcontinent from being an unambiguous language spoken in an unknown part of the world. Nearly 200 million people speak Bengali today. Bangla speakers can also be found in Bengali-speaking communities of the USA, Saudi Arabia, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Australia and Canada.
Bangla created ripples that were felt in its immediate geographical region and around the world. It has an immense cultural effect and a rich history that dates back to the 12th century BCE and is very extensive.
