Abstract

Mind is an independent identifying token of human beings in this vast universe. According to the rule of evolution the expression of mind is next to life. Whatever this introspective mind thinks is the expression through the extrovert language and this dialect is the part of language. In Bengali language there are five dialects and of them one is jharkhandi. This jharkhandi dialect is customary in many districts. One of them is Paschim Medinipur. Besides,this dialect is introduced in Bankura and Purulia also. Paschim Medinipur is a wide district. As a result here we find the differences of regional languages among various regions.
