@drsruoginis I guess yes. But there may have some differences in some terms. Some colloquial terms may arise a little problem. But yes, we understand each other.
I am wondering what others think.

Pretty much all the same, however in parts of Chittagong, their Bengali is a bit different.

It's similar mutually intelligible for sure. The bangla spoken by high caste Hindus in both bengals is very similar.
But aside from that you would find that as you go from east to west you would find that the dialect would shift ever so slightly ( For example the bangla spoken by rural communities in Dhaka would sound less like the bangla spoken in Kolkata than would the rural bangla spoken in Khulna which is closer to the western Indian border).
Until you hit an urban centre where exposure to media from the respective cultural centres of the two bengals (Kolkata and Dhaka) would tend to result in the speaking of the standardised dialects of the two bengals.

yes.. India has 22 languages which have been given the official language status and Bangali language is one of them. It the official language of west Bengal(Bonga).Different state like Assam, Odisha, Tripura and some part of north- east India Bangali is use fluently. It the 2nd language in which a large number of News papers are publishe in India. but It is little differ from Bangaladashi Bengali language they use some Urdu terms in their language because of their different cultures system...overall it is the same language and the national anthem of India and Bangladesh was written by the same person (Rabindronath Thakur).

Yes, it is the same, however there is a slight difference in the vocabulary used by people in Bangladesh and Bengalis in India. Bangladeshis use more loanwords from Arabic and Persian due to historical reasons when the Arabs came to trade and Persians/Persian speaking dynasties invading Bengal region. This is especially the case in Eastern dialects of Bangladesh where more or almost half the words are of Persian and Arabic origin, in places like Sylhet, Chittagong and Noakhali/Feni.
Meanwhile, Bengalis in Kolkata use more words from Sanskrit which is more original.
However in very formal speeches, Sanskrit words are often used in Bangladesh.
Accents are different too but that's not really a major difference. Sometimes people in Bangladesh joke and imitate their accent. XD
They aren't huge differences as they can still understand and converse with each. other and con

No. It's similar to a certain extent, however, there are many differences. Most are quite common so I wouldn't say that they are the same.
