Bengali Culture

Check out my cool video by clicking:  Bengali Culture

Salaam. Kemon Aachhen. Or Hello, How are you? The people of Bangladesh have an interesting culture. Parts of their culture are the language, music, food, and clothes.
            The language the people of Bangladesh speak is Bengali. 98% of the people of Bangladesh speak Bengali. Here are some of the Bengali words:

            Another part of the Bengali culture is their music. The music is usually on stage or digital and includes simple structure words, which means basic grammar structures. The songs are secular or religious. The rulers would tell the maids who would tell the songwriters what to write in the song. Some examples are: Jari are battle songs, Kavigan means battle of poems, and Boul means talon or snake songs.

My favorite thing about the Bengali culture is their plants. The culture is fascinating because they have floating schools, which is awesome.  The Bengali culture is a very different from the United States of America.
