Bengali is an Indo-Aryan language possessing a history and tradition of at least a millennium, with a rich tradition of folklore and folk literature. Folk rhymes form an important part of this tradition.
Syed Mohammed Shahed from Dhaka University has written a fine article on this together with a nice collection of rhymes. Here is a collection of Bengali rhymes in PDF and txt format.
Don't forget to send me your own collection of Bangla rhymes - I will add it to the PDF file with proper credits. Also, my Bangla spelling is not what it used to be. If you spot any errors, please feel free to send in your corrections.
