About High Bengali
اُچَّواَشاَ
ঊচ্চভ়াষা - Ūccavāṣā - Ucchovasha
An althist version of bangla, with much more heavy persianisation and arabisation, with some grammatical simplification (although it does pick up namely the ezâfe from fârsi). It is a literary register, and is thus not much spoken. The spoken form would have the same grammar, but use more native vocabulary
Also I cannot do grammar tables in Arabic script. Too hard. I gave up.
I'll add vocab but mainly translations. Maybe articles too.
In terms of vocabulary, all Hindu usage vocab doesn't exist, and there are more Arabic and Farsi loanwords.
Phonetically, don't trust the inventory. It's kinda ood. Look at translations for a better overview
Also, I'd be literally murdered by my ppl for writing Bangla in the perso-arabic script cri
