Bengali is a language that can be spoken in various ways depending on the location.
বাংলা এমন একটি ভাষা যা অবস্থানের উপর নির্ভর করে বিভিন্ন উপায়ে বলা যায়।
Bangla emon akti bhasha ja obosthaner upor nirvor kore bibhirnno upaye bola jaai।

It's not uncommon to hear the same sentence pronounced differently in different places.
একই বাক্য বিভিন্ন জায়গায় ভিন্নভাবে উচ্চারিত হওয়া অস্বাভাবিক নয়।
Aki bakko bibhirnno jaigai bhirnnobhabe uchaarito howa osabhabik noy।

Moreover, a word in Bengali can have two different pronunciations.
তাছাড়া বাংলায় একটি শব্দের দুটি ভিন্ন উচ্চারণ থাকতে পারে।
Tachara banglai ekti sobder duti bhirnno uchaaron thakte pare।

যেমন- Jemon- ( for example )

আমি গতকাল গিয়েছিলাম, ( Ami Gotokal Giyechilam )
আমি কালকে গিয়েছিলাম, ( Ami kalke Giyechilam )

This sentence is called in English ( I want yesterday )

The sentance are the same but the sentace are different. The same word can be said in two ways.
বাক্য একই কিন্তু বাক্য ভিন্ন। একই কথা দুইভাবে বলা যায়।
Bakko eki kintu bakko bhirnno। aki kotha dubhabe bola jai।
