A number of hospitals and the public schools in the New York City have introduced Bangla side by side with existing English and Spanish languages.
With the introduction of Bangla in high school curriculum in New York, Bangla language has attained the pride as one of the major international languages.
From last year, it was made compulsory for the hospitals in the New York City to appoint interpretors equally proficient both in English and Bangla for the convenience of the Bangladeshi immigrants who know a little about English or do not know at all.
With the introduction of Bangla in the New York hospitals, Bangladeshi immigrants could now easily communicate with the doctors, nurses and others concerned.
A good number of school students in the New York City have been studying Bangla as their second language after English.
Teachers of Bangladesh origin have been trying their best to introduce Bangla in the high schools where Bangla is yet to be introduced as the second language.
The Bangladesh community leaders including MA Quaiyum, Mohammad Aminullah, Professor Abul Kalam Azad, Mohammad Saleh, Hasna Ali, NY state senator John Sabini, city councilmen Jim Jenuro, Hram Manssorat and John Lue are also playing their role in establishing Bangla as an international language.
