a recent on-line survey conducted by UNESCO has revealed that Bengali is the world's sweetest language.Spanish and Dutch languages take the second and third positions respectively. having lived continuously in kolkata for fourteen years after my birth and continuing to visit kolkata eight to ten times a year, i consider it like almost my second home. i speak the language and enjoy the companionship of bengalis.i was therefore thrilled to read on the net about this well-deserved recognition.
not only is the language the sweetest in the world,the sweets like rosogolla,sandesh and mishti-doi can be considered the best sweets in the world. three cheers to kolkata and kolkattans!
aami tomake bhalo bhashi!( i like/love you!)

hi dad
any idea why bengali was voted as the sweetest language?
spanish is surely nice. not sure about dutch though.
sorry lulu,i have no clue.it was an on-line survey and perhaps the respondents were not asked to give any reason for their choice.
I expected a thoughtful post from you, dear gs, on this Maharashtra Day!
