The dialects of the Bengali language are part of the [[List of Eastern Indo-Aryan languages|Eastern]] [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] language group of the [[Indo-European language family]] widely spoken in the [[Bengal]] region of [[South Asia]]. Although the spoken dialects of Bengali are [[mutually intelligible]] with neighbouring dialects.

'''Bengali dialects''' can be thus classified along at least two dimensions: spoken vs. literary variations, and [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|prestige]] vs. regional variations.

==Classifications==
[[Suniti Kumar Chatterji]] and [[Sukumar Sen (linguist)|Sukumar Sen]] classified Bengali Dialects in 6 classes by their [[phonology]] & [[pronunciation]].<ref name="IJL2001">{{cite journal|date=2001|title=Praci Bhasavijnan: Indian Journal of Linguistics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0yxhAAAAMAAJ&q=Rarhi|journal=Indian Journal of Linguistics|language=en|publisher=Bhasa Vidya Parishad|volume=20|page=79}} NB Barendra refers to Varendri</ref><ref name="RefenceA">{{harvnb|Ahsan|2000}}</ref> They are:

1. '''[[Bangali dialect]]''': Bangali dialect is the most widely spoken dialect of Bengali language. It is spoken across the [[Khulna Division|Khulna]], [[Barisal Division|Barisal]], [[Dhaka Division|Dhaka]], [[Mymensingh Division|Mymensingh]], [[Sylhet Division|Sylhet]] and [[Comilla Division|Comilla]] [[Divisions of Bangladesh]] and the [[States and union territories of India|State]] of [[Tripura]] in [[India]].

2. '''[[Rarhi dialect]]''': Rarhi dialect is spoken across much of Southern [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. It is spoken by almost 20 percent of Bengali people. The regions where it is spoken include the whole of [[Presidency division]] (including the city of [[Kolkata]] and the [[Nadia district]]), the Southern half of [[Burdwan division]] and the district of [[Murshidabad district|Murshidabad]].

3. '''[[Varendri dialect]]''': This variety is spoken in [[Malda division]] of [[West Bengal]], [[India]] and [[Rajshahi division]] of [[Bangladesh]] (previously part of [[Varendra]] or [[Barind]] division). It is also spoken in some adjoining villages in [[Bihar]] bordering [[Malda division|Malda]], [[West Bengal]].

4. '''[[KRNB lects|Rangpuri dialect]]''': This dialect is spoken in [[Rangpur Division]] of [[Bangladesh]] and [[Jalpaiguri division]] of [[West Bengal]], [[India]] and its nearby Bengali speaking areas in the bordering areas of [[Assam]] and [[Bihar]].

5. '''[[Manbhumi dialect]]''': Manbhumi is spoken in westernmost Bengali speaking regions which includes the whole of [[Medinipur division]] and the northern half of [[Burdwan division]] in [[West Bengal]] and the Bengali speaking regions of [[Santhal Pargana division]] and [[Kolhan division]] in [[Jharkhand]] state.

6. '''Sundarbani dialect''': Some linguists have also mentioned this.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.satkhira.gov.bd/site/page/f63bad83-1c4a-11e7-8f57-286ed488c766/a/a |script-title=bn:সাতক্ষীরা জেলা |website=Satkhira District |language=bn}}</ref> Dialect of the [[Sundarbans]] region in the [[Satkhira District]] of [[Bangladesh]] and the [[North 24 Parganas|North]] & [[South 24 Parganas]] districts of [[West Bengal]] don't share some common features with the neighboring [[Bangali dialect|Bangali]] & [[Rarhi dialect|Rarhi]] dialects. So this dialect is classified as a unique dialect.

==Spoken and literary variants==
More than other [[Indic languages]], Bengali exhibits strong [[diglossia]] between the formal, written language and the vernacular, spoken language. Two styles of writing, involving somewhat different vocabularies and syntax, have emerged :<ref name="daniul">{{cite book |last=Huq |first=Mohammad Daniul |year=2012 |chapter=Chalita Bhasa |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Chalita_Bhasa |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref><ref name="daniul1">{{cite book |last=Huq |first=Mohammad Daniul |year=2012 |chapter=Sadhu Bhasa |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Sadhu_Bhasa |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref>
# ''Shadhubhasha'' (সাধুভাষা) is the written language with longer verb inflections and a more Sanskrit-derived (তৎসম ''tôtshôm'') vocabulary (সাধু ''shadhu'' = 'chaste' or 'sage'; ভাষা ''bhasha'' = 'language'). Songs such as India's national anthem ''[[Jana Gana Mana]]'' (by [[Rabindranath Tagore]]) and national song ''[[Vande Mātaram]]'' (by [[Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay]]) were composed in Shadhubhasha, but its use is on the wane in modern writing.
# ''Choltibhasha'' (চলতিভাষা ) or ''Cholitobhasha'' (চলিতভাষা), a written Bengali style that reflects a more colloquial idiom, is increasingly the standard for written Bengali (চলিত ''cholito'' = 'current' or 'running'). This form came into vogue towards the turn of the 19th century, in an [[orthography]] promoted in the writings of [[Peary Chand Mitra]] (''Alaler ghare dulal'', 1857),<ref name="alal">{{cite book |last=Huq |first=Mohammad Daniul |year=2012 |chapter=Alaler Gharer Dulal |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Alaler_Gharer_Dulal |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref> Pramatha Chowdhury (''Sabujpatra'', 1914) and in the later writings of [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. It is modelled on the dialect spoken in the districts bordering the lower reaches of the [[Hooghly River]], particularly the [[Shantipur]] region in [[Nadia district]], West Bengal. This form of Bengali is sometimes called the "Nadia standard".<ref name="morshed">{{cite book |last=Morshed |first=Abul Kalam Manjoor |year=2012 |chapter=Dialect |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Dialect |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref>

Spoken Bengali exhibits far more variation than written Bengali. Formal spoken Bengali, including what is heard in news reports, speeches, announcements, and lectures, is modelled on Choltibhasha. This form of spoken Bengali stands alongside other spoken dialects, or ''Ancholik Bangla'' (আঞ্চলিক বাংলা) (i.e. 'regional Bengali'). The majority of Bengalis are able to communicate in more than one dialect – often, speakers are fluent in Choltibhasha, one or more Ancholik dialect, and one or more forms of ''Gramyo Bangla'' (গ্রাম্য বাংলা) (i.e. 'rural Bengali'), dialects specific to a village or town.

To a non-Bengali, these dialects may sound or look vastly different, but the differences are mostly in phonology and vocabulary, and not so much a grammatical one, one exception is the addition of grammatical gender in some eastern dialects. Many dialects share features with the so-called ''Shadhu Bhasha'' or "pure language", which was the written standard until the 19th century. Comparison of Bengali dialects gives us an idea about archaic forms of the language as well.

During standardisation of Bengali in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the cultural elite were mostly from the regions of [[Kolkata]], [[Hooghly district|Hooghly]], [[Howrah district|Howrah]], [[24 Parganas]] and [[Nadia District|Nadia]]. What is accepted as the standard form today in both West Bengal and Bangladesh is based on the West-Central dialect. While the language has been standardised today through two centuries of education and media, variation is widespread, with many speakers familiar with or fluent in both their socio-geographical variety as well as the standard dialect used in the media.

==Regional dialect differences==
Dialectal differences in Bengali manifest themselves in three forms: [[standardised dialect]] vs. regional dialect, literary language vs. colloquial language and lexical (vocabulary) variations. The name of the dialects generally originates from the district where the language is spoken.

While the standard form of the language does not show much variation across the Bengali-speaking areas of South Asia, regional variation in spoken Bengali constitutes a [[dialect continuum]]. Mostly speech varies across distances of just a few miles and takes distinct forms among the religious communities. [[Bengali Hindus]] tend to speak in Sanskritised Bengali (a remnant of the [[Sadhu bhasha]]), [[Bengali Muslims]] comparatively use more [[Farsi|Perso]]-[[Arabic]] vocabulary and [[Bengali Christians]] converse in [[Christian Bengali]] when engaging in their own circles. Apart from the present dialects, there are a few more which have disappeared. For example, Sātagāiyã' (this is the name used in [[East Bengal]] for the dialect of South-western Rarh region). The present dialects of Bengali are listed below with an example sentence meaning:

::English translation: "A man had two sons." (M=male indicated i.e. A man had two sons, P= person indicated, without gender, i.e. A person had two sons)

===West Central dialects===

These dialects are mostly spoken in and around the [[Hooghly River|Bhagirathi River]] basin, in West Central Bengal. The standard form of the colloquial language (''Choltibhasha'') has developed out of the [[Nadia district|Nadia]] dialect.

::[[Nadia District|Nadia]]/Standard Bengali language: æk jon loker duţi chhele chhilo. (M)

::[[Kolkata]]: æk jon loker duţo chhele chhilo. (M)

::[[Kushtia District|Kushtia]]: æk mansher duđi seile silo.

===North Bengal dialects===
{{Main|Varendri dialect}}
This dialect is mainly spoken in the districts of [[North Bengal]]. . The dialects of the North do not have contrastive nasal vowels, tend to conserve h word medially, often go through l-n and n-l transitions, often in nouns, and are the only dialects where æ can be found word terminally.

::[[Dinajpur District, Bangladesh|Dinajpur]]: æk zôn mansher duikhona bæt̹a/sawal asilo (P)

This dialect is spoken in the area which is known as Manbhum.

::[[Manbhumi]]: æk loker duţa beţa chhilô. (M)

::[[Purba Medinipur District|East Medinipur]]: gote loker duiţa toka thilo. (M)

::[[Dhalbhum]]/[[East Singhbhum]]: æk loker duţa chha chhilo. (M)

::[[Ranchi]]: æk loker du beţa rahe. (M)

::[[Midnapore]]: æk lokkar duţţa po thailô. (M)

The latter two, along with [[Kharia Thar language|Kharia Thar]] and [[Mal Paharia language|Mal Paharia]], are closely related to Western Bengali dialects, but are typically classified as separate languages. Similarly, [[Rajbangsi language|Rajbangsi]] and Hajong are considered separate languages, although they are very similar to North Bengali dialects. There are many more minor dialects as well, including those spoken in the bordering districts of [[Purnea]] and [[Singhbhum]] and among the tribals of eastern Bangladesh like the [[Hajong people|Hajong]] and the [[Chakma people|Chakma]].

===Other dialects and closely related languages===
This category is for dialects, mostly restricted to certain communities instead of a region, as well as closely related languages. [[Dobhashi]] was a highly Persianised dialect originating during the [[Bengal Sultanate]] period. The [[sadhu bhasha]] was a historical Sanskritised register of Bengali and [[Christian Bengali]] was a Europeanised dialect; both of which originated during the colonial period. Examples of heavily Sanskritised Bengali include the [[Jana Gana Mana]].

::[[Dobhashi]]: "æk adomer dui aolad chhilô." (এক আদমের দুই আওলাদ ছিল।) (M)

::[[Christian Bengali]]: "æk homor dui putrô chhilô." (এক হোমোর দুই পুত্র ছিল।) (P)

::[[Sadhu bhasha]]: "kono æk bektir duṭi putrô chhilô" (কোন এক ব্যক্তির দু'টি পুত্র ছিল।) (P)

::Heavily Sanskritised Bengali: "æka byaktira putradvaya chhila" (এক ব্যক্তির পুত্রদ্বয় ছিল।) (P)

::[[Assamese language|Assamese]]: "ezôn manuhôr duzon putek asil" (এজন মানুহৰ দুজন পুতেক আছিল) (P)

::[[Hajong language|Hajong]]: "ekzôn manôlôg duida pôla thakibar" (একজন মানলগ দুইদা পলা থাকিবার) (P)

::[[Chakma language|Chakma]]: ek jônôtun diba pwa el.

::[[Kharia Thar]]: æhôk nôker duiţa chhaoga rôhina. (M)

::[[Mal Paharia language|Mal Paharia Language]]: æk jhỗṇỗr duiţô beţa achhlæk. (M)

===Phonological variations===
There are marked dialectal differences between the speech of Bengalis living on the পশ্চিম ''Poshchim'' (western) side and পূর্ব ''Purbo'' (eastern) side of the [[Padma River]].

Bengali dialects include '''Eastern''' and '''Southeastern Bengali dialects''': The Eastern dialects serve as the primary colloquial language of the [[Dhaka]] district. In contrast to Western dialects where ট　{{IPA|/ʈ/}} and ড {{IPA|/ɖ/}} are unvoiced and voiced retroflex stops respectively, most Eastern and Southeastern dialects pronounce them as apical alveolar {{IPA|/t̠/}} and {{IPA|/d̠/}}, especially in less formal speech. These dialects also lack contrastive nasalised vowels or a distinction in র /{{IPA|r~ɾ}}/, ড়/ঢ় {{IPA|/ɽ/}}, pronouncing them mostly as {{IPA|/ɹ/}}, although some speakers may realise র /{{IPA|r~ɾ}}/ when occurring before a consonant or prosodic break. This is also true of the [[Sylheti dialect]], which has a lot in common with the [[Kamrupi dialect]] of Assam in particular, and is sometimes considered a separate language. The Eastern dialects extend into Southeastern dialects, which include parts of Chittagong. The [[Chittagonian dialect]] has [[Tibeto-Burman languages|Tibeto-Burman influences]].

====Fricatives====
In the dialects prevalent in much of eastern Bangladesh ([[Barisal]], [[Chittagong]], and [[Dhaka]]), many of the stops and affricates heard in Kolkata Bengali are pronounced as [[Fricative consonant|fricatives]].

Poshchim Bengali (Western Bengali) [[Palato-alveolar consonant|Palato-alveolar]] or [[Alveolo-palatal consonant|alveolo-palatal affricates]] চ [{{IPAlink|tɕ|tɕɔ}}~{{IPAlink|tʃ|tʃɔ}}], ছ [{{IPAlink|ʰ|tɕʰɔ}}~{{IPAlink|ʰ|tʃʰɔ}}], জ [{{IPAlink|dʑ|dʑɔ}}~{{IPAlink|dʒ|dʒɔ}}], and ঝ [{{IPAlink|dʑʱ|dʑɔʱ}}~{{IPAlink|dʒʱ|dʒɔʱ}}] correspond to Purbo Bengali (Eastern Bengali) চʻ {{IPA|[ts]}}~{{IPA|[tɕ]}}, ছ় {{IPA|[s]}}~{{IPA|[tsʰ]}}, জʻ {{IPA|[dz]}}~{{IPA|[z]}}, and ঝ় {{IPA|[z]}}. A similar pronunciation is also found in [[Assamese language|Assamese]], a related language across the border in India.

The aspirated velar stop {{lang|bn|খ}} {{IPA|[kʰ]}}, the unvoiced aspirated labial stop {{lang|bn|ফ}} {{IPA|[pʰ]}} and the voiced aspirated labial stop {{lang|bn|ভ}} {{IPA|[bʰ]}} of Poshcim Bengali correspond to {{lang|bn|খ়}} [{{IPAlink|x}}~{{IPAlink|ʜ}}], {{lang|bn|ফ়}} [{{IPAlink|f}}~{{IPAlink|ɸ}}] and {{lang|bn|ভ}} [{{IPAlink|β}}~{{IPAlink|v}}] in many dialects of Purbo Bengali.

Many Purbo Bengali dialects share phonological features with Assamese, including the debuccalisation of শ {{IPA|[ʃ]}} to হ {{IPA|[h]}} or খ় {{IPA|[x]}}.

====Tibeto-Burman influence====
The influence of [[Tibeto-Burman languages]] on the phonology of Purbo Bengali (Bangladesh) is seen through the lack of nasalised vowels, an alveolar articulation for the [[Retroflex consonant|Retroflex]] [[Stop consonant|stops]] ট {{IPA|[ʈ]}}, ঠ {{IPA|[ʈʰ]}}, ড {{IPA|[ɖ]}}, and ঢ {{IPA|[ɖʱ]}}, resembling the equivalent phonemes in languages such as [[Thai language|Thai]] and [[Lao language|Lao]] and the lack of distinction between র {{IPA|[ɹ]}} and ড়/ঢ় {{IPA|[ɽ]}}. Unlike most languages of the region, some Purbo Bengali dialects do not include the breathy voiced stops ঘ {{IPA|[ɡʱ]}}, ঝ {{IPA|[dʑʱ]}}, ঢ {{IPA|[ɖʱ]}}, ধ {{IPA|[d̪ʱ]}}, and ভ {{IPA|[bʱ]}}. Some variants of Bengali, particularly Chittagonian and Chakma Bengali, have contrastive [[tone (linguistics)|tone]]; differences in the pitch of the speaker's voice can distinguish words. In dialects such as [[Hajong language|Hajong]] of northern Bangladesh, there is a distinction between ''উ'' and ''ঊ'' , the first corresponding exactly to its standard counterpart but the latter corresponding to the Japanese {{IPA|[ü͍]}} sound {{Audio|Ja-U.oga|''listen''}}. There is also a distinction between ''ই'' and ''ঈ'' in many northern Bangladeshi dialects. ''ই'' representing the {{IPAblink|ɪ}} sound whereas ''ঈ'' represents an {{IPAblink|i}}.
