Not only the sounds, but also the meanings are also arbitrary, illogical in the sense that there is no reason why we say ‘BOI’, the Arabs call the same thing ‘KITAB’, and the English call it ‘BOOK’. The definition of oral language says that a language is an arbitrary vocal sound that the people of a certain community use for communication among the members. ![]() For example, Japanese does not have ‘l’/ল/ sound, and that is why they cannot pronounce ‘Bangladesh’ as we do they utter it like ‘Bangradesh’ or similar to it. ![]() Moreover, every single language does not have all the sounds used by the speakers of different languages of the world. It happens in case of all the languages of the world. For example, the pronunciation of ‘But’/bʌt/ and ‘Put’/p t/ is different where there is no reason why they are dissimilarly pronounced. Learners and speakers of a native or a foreign language have to use a standard dictionary and thus have to learn the right pronunciation of a particular word. ![]() It is interesting that no language is pronounced as it is written. We have to use IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) to notate the pronunciation of any oral languages. BPA stands for Bangla Phonetic Alphabet which, it is believed, can be used for improving English pronunciation of the native Bangla speakers.
