Benglish is a blend of Bengali and English, widely used in everyday informal communication among Bengali speakers. It involves writing Bengali words and sentences using the Roman (English) alphabet, naturally mixed with English vocabulary.
Unlike formal Bengali, Benglish does not follow strict spelling rules — it reflects how millions of bilingual Bengalis naturally communicate in text messages, WhatsApp chats, social media, and casual conversations across West Bengal, Bangladesh, and the global Bengali diaspora. For example, typing "Tumi kemon acho?" in this tool gives you the English translation "How are you?"
