The paper titled "On Linguistic Reviews of Arabic and Bangla: A Comparative Study" explores the major linguistic distinctions between Arabic and Bangla, two languages with significantly different origins. The study compares various aspects of these languages, including their alphabets, grammar, sentence structure, pronunciation, and writing systems. The research aims to provide insights for learners, teachers, and users of these languages, focusing on the challenges faced in writing, speaking, and translating between Arabic and Bangla.
The study highlights that Arabic, with its roots in the Afro-Asiatic language family, and Bangla, from the Indo-European language family, differ substantially in many areas. For instance, Arabic uses a consonantal alphabet (abjad) with no vowels, while Bangla has a full set of vowels. Additionally, Arabic is written from right to left, whereas Bangla is written from left to right. Despite these differences, both languages share some similarities, such as the absence of case distinctions in their alphabets and the fact that both are phonetic languages.
The research also discusses the implications of these differences for language learners and emphasizes the importance of understanding these linguistic characteristics to bridge the gap between the two languages. The paper concludes that while Arabic and Bangla have more differences than similarities due to their distinct linguistic roots, the study provides valuable insights for educators and translators working with these languages.
The authors suggest that further research is needed to explore the complexities of these languages and improve translation and language teaching methodologies.
