Bengali translation services
Standard Bengali on the page; spoken formats when Sylheti is the home language.
Bengali at a glance
Bengali is the 7th most-spoken language in the world. We separately staff Sylheti — distinct enough from Standard Bengali that mismatched pairing can mean miscommunication in clinical settings.
Bengali has a strong shared literary standard. Written in its own script across Bangladesh and West Bengal, documents in Standard Bengali travel well — but for outreach to Sylheti-speaking communities, spoken formats often serve better than text.
Bengali has more than 265 million speakers across Bangladesh, India, and the global diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
