My Dear Rouf
As Salamu Alaikum. Hope you are well. I am also fire by the grace of Allah. Today I will write you about the importance of using standard Bangla. Geographical difference is one of the main reasons behind the diversity of a particular language. The different forms of a language that arise due to geographical differences are known as dialects. Every language has some regional characteristics, which form its various regional dialects. However, a standard form of a language understood by all is necessary and desirable. This standard form of a language is usually used around the city or town areas. Bangla also has a standard form, which is widely known as Pramita Bangla. As the dialects have their own respect and dignity, the standard form demands the same.

But unfortunately, there is a chaotic situation in Bangladesh with the use of standard and regional forms of Bangla. These different forms are often being mixed by the language users, along with English and Hindi. The main reasons behind this chaos are a lack of social awareness and a lack of specific functions.

People have insufficient information and knowledge about the use of standard language and dialects. A dialect may be used in informal environments, but one should use the standard form of Bangla in a formal environment. People do not wear the same outfit in all environments. The dress for a wedding ceremony and a milad mahfil are different. Again, the dress of Pahela Boishakh, which is a cultural heritage of Bengali people, and the dress of Ekushey February, the event that gave birth to our national consciousness are different.

The television channels of the country can play a positive and important role in creating social awareness and presenting exemplary models in the introduction of standard Bangla. If the use of standard Bangla in our television channels and other mass media increases, the common man will try to imitate it. However, regional languages may also be used on television, depending on the situation or demand of the character of a drama. No more today. Wishing you best luck.

Yours loving
Niamot
