🌍 বাংলা reference data
Fully supported — read, tap-to-define, mine vocabulary, and practice frequency-banded cloze in Bengali: the first Brahmic-script pack. Bengali attaches its case endings, plurals and classifiers to the end of a word with no space, so lookups peel them to reach the entry (সালের → সাল, বইগুলোর → বই), and the danda । ends a sentence. One honest caveat: the dictionary is small, because English Wiktionary holds far fewer Bengali entries than it does for the European packs. It answers about 88% of the thousand most common words and thins out over formal and news vocabulary, where a tap falls through to AI translation instead. Spoken with an Indian Bengali voice, because that is the only Bengali voice Google publishes.
