Problems with this article

  • 'the script used to print Bengali is called Devanagari.'
 This is nonsense.  Bengali is written with a script quite similar to but distinctively different than Devanagari - it has no other name in English than the Bengali script.  See [1]
  • 'Eastern Bengal ... was a colony of Pakistan'
 This doesn't sound NPOV to me.  Perhaps 'Eastern Bengal ... was part of Pakistan'?
  • 'In languages such as French, words have gender. One must remember the gender associated with each word.'
 So what? Was some info here lost?
