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 tens of 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 "How are you?" in this tool gives you the Benglish translation "Tumi kemon acho?"
| English | Benglish |
| Hello / Greetings | Hya / Namaskar |
| Thank you | Dhonnobad |
| I love you | Ami tomake bhalobashi |
| Very good / Excellent | Onek bhalo / Durdanto |
| Okay / Alright | Thik achhe / Ok |
| Brother / Bro (informal) | Dada / Bhai |
| Beautiful / Nice | Shundor |
| What's up? | Ki khabar? |
| Are you well? | Bhalo achho? |
| What's going on? | Ki byapar? |
| Tell me / Go ahead | Bol na |
| Very fun / Amazing | Onek fun |
| What is your name? | Tomar naam ki? |
| No problem / It's fine | Kono problem nei |
| Let's see / We'll see | Dekha jaak |
These sentences show how everyday English converts to the mixed Bengali-English style that people in Kolkata, Dhaka, and the diaspora actually use in conversations.
