Learning Punjabi or Bengali/Bangla more useful?
By , 0 viewsQuestion asked by Crispy: Learning Punjabi or Bengali/Bangla more useful?
I am considering learning either of these languages soon, and I was wondering which one might be more useful. Which might spring up to be more useful when visiting India. It seems that Bengali/Bangla has a large number of speakers, but are these speakers not as distributed throughout the world as Punjabis?

their quite similar but if you learn punjabi its a link to other languages such as Urdu and it will be better to learn two languages than 1 so i say punjabi but try learning both if you can once you learn punjabi it will be easier to learn bengali

Bengali is much more easier to learn,has richer culture and the grammar is excellent.
If you’re talking about an International language,then Bangla wont help and neither will Punjabi.
Try French or Spanish for that

I’m not sure, but I have heard that Punjabi language does not have grammar. Bengali (Bangla, as it is called by its user) language is having own set of grammar and very rich in its depths and meanings.
I can speak Urdu and could understand little bit of Punjabi (the curses to be exact…lol) due to spending childhood in Karachi, Pakistan.
I learned Farsi (Persian) well during my service with IIAF in 1977-79 period. Our Iranian colleagues used to say that they can learn a few words of Bangla more easily than the Punjabi words those Pakistani colleagues would sometimes ask them to memorise. Btw, I did not find many people in Iran who could speak or practice English they think that Persian could be universal language since in modern history it was the official language of the Indian Kings and rulers.
However, as far as your being able to communicate while in India, I would suggest you learn Punjabi since it is more-or-less understood well inside India in compare the Bangla, that is widely used and understood in West Bengal.
Curious to know what you chose finally!!!
