Bengali/Months
< Bengali
Bengali people generally use two calendars:
- The Gregorian calendar, colloquially known as the "English calendar" (ইংরেজি ক্যালেন্ডার /iŋɹedʑi kɛlendaɹ/).
- The Bengali calendar (বাংলা বর্ষপঞ্জি /baŋla bɔɹʃopondʑi/), used mostly in certain functions.
Aside these, Bengali Muslims also use the Islamic calendar.
