INDO-ARYAN FAMILY.

(EASTERN GROUP.)

BENGALI OR BANGA-BHASEA,

DIALECT.

(GoAiPABA DISTRICT.)

[In the phonetic transoriptiou s is pronounced hard, as in sin, tkis> and not like the sh in shell, which is represented by
sh. Z is somewhat softer than the * of zeal, but not so soft as the s in pleasure.

Pronounce a as the a in hat; e as the e in met; o as the o in A<#; and oi as in oil. The letter o (without any diacritical
mark) represents the sound of the first o in promote and of the o in the French word votre as compared with v6tre. It
should be carefully distinguished from the 6 of hot.

Other consonants and vowels are pronounced as in the authorized Government system.]
