The Question:

I was wondering if you could suggest to me where I could find the Bangladesh language on the net or maybe even a book that might help. I seem to be coming up with nothing.

The Answer:

The language you are aking about is called Bengali. Bengali is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world, after Chinese, Spanish, and English, with almost 200 million speakers. At any rate, we did find a site that will help you learn Begali, Virtual Bangladesh: Survival Bengali. You might also want to take a look at Useful Bengali travel phrases.
