Bengali Speakers
Bengali speakers are individuals who primarily communicate in the Bengali language, which is the official language of Bangladesh and the second most spoken language in India. With over 230 million speakers, it is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The Bengali language has a rich literary tradition, with notable works from poets like Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European Nobel laureate in Literature.
The Bengali-speaking population is diverse, encompassing various cultures, traditions, and religions. Most Bengali speakers reside in West Bengal, a state in India, and Bangladesh, where they celebrate unique festivals such as Durga Puja and Pohela Boishakh. This cultural richness contributes to the vibrant identity of Bengali speakers globally.
