Question

history of bangla language ?​

Answer 1

Answer:Bangla Language next to Assamese, Bangla (Bamla) is the easternmost of the languages belonging to the Indo-European language family. This new Indo-Aryan (NIA) language is historically related to Irish, english, French, Greek, Russian, persian etc. Bangla is bounded by Oriya, Magadhi and Maithili to the west and Assamese on the east. It is flanked by various Austric languages like Santali, Mundari, Khasi and Sino-Tibetan languages like Kachhari, Boro, Garo, Tripuri etc, each of them encroaching at times on the Bangla-speaking areas.

Bangla is the state language of bangladesh and one of 18 languages listed in the Indian Constitution. It is the administrative language of the Indian states of Tripura and west bengal as well as one of the administrative languages of Kachar district, Assam. Bangla speakers number about more than 230 million today, making Bangla the seventh language after Chinese, English, Hindi-urdu, Spanish, arabic and Portuguese. It is perhaps the only language on the basis of which an independent state was created.

History Bangla emerged as a new Indo-Aryan language by 900-1000 AD through Magadhi apabhramsh and abahattha, two stages of Magadhi prakrit (600 BC - 600 AD), along with two other Indo-Aryan languages, Oriya and Assamese. Until the 14th century, there was little linguistic difference between Bangla and Assamese.

The evolution of Bangla may be divided into three historical phases: Old Bangla (900/1000-1350), Medieval Bangla (1350-1800) and Modern Bangla (1800-). The earliest example of old Bangla is to be found in the poems of the charyapada, though the language of these poems is also related to eastern Magadhi languages. Shrikrsnakirtan or Shrikrsnasandarbha of baru chandidas is an example of the early form of medieval Bangla. Other writings in medieval Bangla are the translations of the ramayana and the mahabharata, Vaishnava lyrics, poetical biographies of chaitanya, various forms of the mabgalkavya, narrative poetry written at the court of Arakan and Rosang, Shakta Poetry and purbababga-gitika. An influx of Perso-Arabic words into the language took place at this point of evolution. Bangla also borrowed from sanskrit, the words known as tatsama and tadbhava, English and other languages in the modern Bangla phase.

The linguistic features of these three phases of the language can be classified as follows: Old Bangla- phonological: 1. geminate clusters born out of conjunct consonants were simplified into single consonants and the preceding vowel grew longer as a result of compensatory lengthening; 2. the word-final a (অ) remained in place and the word-final ia (ইঅ) turned into long i (ঈ). Morphological: 1. feminine gender continued to be used with genitive inflections and past verbal inflections ending in l (ল); 2. inflections as used in modern Bangla started surfacing at this stage; but verbal inflexions ending in -ila (-ইল) and -iba (-ইব) began to be used with the subject of the intransitive passive voice; 3. the proto forms of modern Bangla pronouns like ahme (আহ্মে'), tuhme (তুহ্মে) etc. surfaced at this stage of the Bangla language.
