Regional Language to Bangla Joypuhat, Rajshahi, Bangladesh
Abstract
Bangladesh and its adjoining regions exhibit extensive linguistic diversity, comprising numerous regional languages and dialects that remain underrepresented in digital communication systems. The absence of standardized translation frameworks for these regional varieties poses substantial barriers to information accessibility, knowledge dissemination, and inclusive technological development. This study proposes an NLP-based computational model for systematically translating regional languages into Standard Bangla, thereby addressing the linguistic gap between informal spoken varieties and formal written Bangla. The research methodology encompasses corpus development, data annotation, text normalization, tokenization, phonological mapping, and the application of machine-learning and sequence-to-sequence translation architectures. A parallel dataset consisting of region-specific lexical items, syntactic structures, and semantic patterns was constructed to train and evaluate the system. Experimental evaluation indicates that the proposed model achieves promising translation accuracy while preserving semantic integrity and contextual meaning. The findings highlight the system's potential to support language standardization, promote linguistic inclusivity, and facilitate broader digital participation among speakers of marginalized dialects. The study further advances localized NLP research in Bangladesh and provides a foundation for future extensions to educational technology, governmental communication platforms, and multilingual AI systems.
