On the Classification of Varieties of Bangla Spoken in Bangladesh

Abstract

This study emphasizes the necessity for the classification of speech varieties of Bangla spoken in Bangladesh on the premise of language planning. There are a range of varieties of Bangla spoken in the different regions of Bangladesh. These varieties show a continuum spanning from the region of Meherpur to the region of Chittagong or Khulna. Now, there have been different standpoints in the classification of the varieties of Bangla. The difference in the standpoints of classification caused to bring forth some controversy. An appraisal on the different standpoints shows that the existing controversy can be reconciled if the classification of the speech varieties is undertaken on the premise of language planning.
