Excerpt from A Small Dictionary of Colloquial Bengali Words This little book has been compiled in the leisure moments of a busy life, with the sincere hope that it may be a help to some learning to speak Bengali. It consists almost entirely of colloquial words used in ordinary conversation in and around Calcutta and as the use of words differs in many places it can make no claim to completeness All that 18 hoped is that it may be useful in helping us missionaries to speak more correctly and so more acceptably to the people of Bengal and that it may be only the forerunner of something better.
