I've heard and used these phrases so much growing up that I actually believed this was Bengali. But I checked and checked, and lo and behold, these are not Bengali phrases and words, but simply Arabic.

So will you consider reversing this trend?
no point comparing religion with entertainment.

The Arabic words you mentioned are now part of Bangladeshi Bangla in the Muslim community like table chair radio etc are in for everyone speaking Bangla

apart form these couple of words you wont see people speak anymore Arabic in regular day to day conversations. but you might hear Hindi/English. I think opening post was talking about that
