About this dictionary
Words are in standard Bangladeshi Bangla, as spoken in Dhaka. Each one is written in Bangla script with a simple romanisation (and a precise one for sounds English doesn't have), and voiced by native Bangladeshi speakers. The dictionary grows as new lessons are added to the LearnBangla courses.
