Despite being one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, it doesn’t really get a lot of respect on YouTube or the Internet. Not many people learn this language, and I think it’s a shame.” He further revealed that he would try to converse in Bengali with the locals of the area, and videotape their reaction!
