The history of the Bangla language carries significant nationalistic pride, but this focus on the past has hindered its progression. While the emotional value of remembering the language's history is important, the real-world challenges it faces require a more forward-thinking approach. Languages must evolve to meet the demands of the future, adapt to new technologies, and compete with other global languages. Historically, Bangla has had to navigate dominance from English, Urdu, and others, and compromises were made to build the structure of Bangladesh. But the crucial question remains: how prepared is Bangla for the future? The growing dominance of English presents a major challenge to Bangla. English has become the global language of technology and media, creating an environment where much of the content, especially on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, is English-centric. As a result, Bangla speakers are increasingly exposed to, and influenced by, English. This results in the unnecessary insertion of English words into Bangla, altering its syntax and gradually normalizing this hybrid language usage. The overreliance on English is damaging to the natural expression of Bangla, even though the language itself is fully capable of expressing complex ideas. Another emerging issue is the use of artificial intelligence for writing and translation in Bangla. Many students and writers are turning to tools like ChatGPT and Google Translate to produce content quickly. This often leads to poorly constructed Bangla, influenced by English sentence structures. The rise of AI-generated content threatens the originality and richness of Bangla writing, and if not addressed, it could lead to a generation of writers who are disconnected from the language's deeper nuances and creative potential. This shift in writing and thinking requires immediate attention, especially if we are to preserve the integrity of Bangla as a living language. To address these challenges, there is a pressing need for a language commission that would bring together language experts, technologists, and government representatives to develop a comprehensive language policy. Such a policy should not only address the current use of Bangla but also outline strategies for integrating the language into modern technology. This includes developing accessible resources like digital dictionaries, grammar guides, and apps dedicated to learning Bangla. Without proper planning and policy, Bangla risks falling behind as a language capable of thriving in the future.
