Bengali Wikipedia

The Bengali Wikipedia or Bangla Wikipedia (Bengali: বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়া, romanized: Bāṅlā Uikipiḍiẏā) is the Bengali language edition of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. Launched on 27 January 2004, it surpassed 10,000 articles in October 2006, becoming the second South Asian language edition to do so. On 25 December 2020, the site achieved the milestone of 100,000 articles. As of 6 October 2026, the Bengali Wikipedia has 191,839 articles. Although it joined later compared to top Wikipedias, it ranks 5th in terms of article depth among 318 active Wikipedias by language. As of June 2020, the Bengali Wikipedia is the only online free encyclopedia written in the Bengali language. It is also one of the largest Bengali-content-related sites on the internet. The mobile version of the Bengali Wikipedia was launched in 2010. It also has a phonetic Latin alphabet-to-Bengali script tool so Latin alphabet keyboards can be used to type Bengali without downloading any software. Community-produced news publications include WikiBarta. Similar to most Wikipedias of the region, the median age of the Bengali Wikipedia's editors is younger than that of many European Wikipedias.
