Bengali...
"Bengali is spoken by about 85 million people, 60
per cent of
whom live in East Pakistan and the rest
in adjacent West Bengal,
India. Bengali is an ancient
language, as attested by the existence
since the 14th century of classical literature. A number of
regional
dialects exist in vernacular usage, but there are only two well
standardized literary idioms: Sadhu Bhasha, the classical
style,
and Chalti Bhasha, a literary form that approaches the colloquial
usage of the educated in Calcutta, but had only recently come to
have equal literary status with Sadhu Bhasha. The second
largest
language of the Indo-Aryan family, next only to the
Hindustani
derivatives, Bengali is written in a script which developed out
of, or was influenced by, Devanagari.
At this point it is important to consider the greatest
of the early
my. presses, the Serampore Press, and the devoted
mies. who created and managed it. In 30 years of great
achievement, the Serampore Mission, named after the city near
Calcutta where their press and school were established, published
Scriptures in 45 languages and were the first to print Scriptures
in no less than 35 languages of India, an unsurpassed record. The
diligence of this band of dedicated scholars is evident in the
history of the Bengali Bible. William Carey, a man of ordinary
circumstances and self-imparted education, translated the Bible
and revised it eight times, published it twice during his lifetime,
and, as he lay dying in 1834, read as his last work the manuscript
of the final revision.
The Bengali New Testament, published in 1801, was the first of a
flood of Scriptures issued from the Mission Press, making
Serampore the most famous and productive mission station in
the world. Carey and his colleagues, Joshua
Marshman and
William Ward , were by no
means the first Protestant foreign
mies., but they were the first to lay the broad foundations
that endure to this day." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
