English. My grandmother speaks Urdu but no one from my parents, cousins or aunts/uncles speak Urdu, it's English all the way.

We all understand Hindi, which is a different story. 😆 Blame television and movies.

Bangla (Bengali)

Bengali /b"li/^[5] or Bangla /b'l'/ ( Bangla [bala] ( listen)) is the language native to the region of Bengal, which comprises present-day Bangladesh and the Indian states West Bengal, Tripura and southern Assam.



The National Anthem of Bangladesh, National Anthem of India, National Anthem of Sri Lanka and the national song of India were first composed in the Bengali language. 👏

And I hate the fact that All south indian languages are grouped. I know Kannada a little and I know they are very much different. I just hate how people group all together and stereotype it!
