There are above sixty pages for showing IPA symbols for pronunciations of the world's most spoken languages. But there is no page for Bengali language whence it is the sixth language that people speak most. So I think there should be a page for Bengali; that is why I have initiated this page. I have done it in the model of Wikipedia:IPA for Malay and Wikipedia:IPA for Hindi and Urdu. There are a lot of Hindi sounds which are pronounced in the same way Bengali sounds. So IPA for Hindi are same to Bengali. Therefore I have taken the English equivalents from Wikipedia:IPA for Hindi and Urdu chart. Moreover for a more thorough look at the sounds of Bengali I have went to Romanization of Bengali and Bangla Academy Babyaharik Bangla Abhidhan and etc. Anyway it is not yet totally complete, so I am asking others to improve it. -- Smmmaniruzzaman ( talk) 04:54, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Help talk:IPA which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 16:15, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
From a first sight. The page has errors. For example, it states that Bengali has [ z when in fact it is [ d͡ʑ, without indicating that the former is rare and is only in a few learned loanwords. I know Bengalis who struggle to pronounce the fricative, so I was surprised to read the claim! -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 20:45, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Since this article is used as reference for English speakers, it'd probably make sense to add transcriptions for the Bengali words supplied. puggo 19:04, 3 March 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bug2266 ( talk • contribs)
If you found any mistake,please reply before editing. I've also correct some punctuation, typos and added links. Prinaki ( talk) 06:49, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
I noticed that ii̯, ei̯ & ou̯ were listed under 'Diphthongs'. Shouldn't they be iː, eː & oː respectively? This is just a query - not a native speaker here, so please correct me on this topic. Username203 ( talk) 13:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
