"Loukik Bangla" is the Prokriṭo Bengali
The advancement of Linguistics has proven that Sanskrit is not the mother to the languages of Bengals as the origin and Prakrit (or Prokriṭo) is to be acknowledged with respect. Yet there is no single concrete evidence available to describe Bengali as it is in pragmatic sense from the Prakrit or Prokrito point of considerations. All the primers and grammars and rules and definitions are still worshiping Sanskrit as the Holy Mother and thus the language is being described and taught. This is why 65% of the L1 Bengali learners fail to read Bengali even after finishing their elementary education (and hundreds of thousands of them have GPA-5.00 secured) and needless to talk about the learners of Bengali as a second language.

- and for the "Pragmatic Bengali" term is already misinterpreted officially by the Sanskrit blinded grammarians.
Perhaps, Sir Rabindranath Tagore is the very first language thinker who perceived the basic differences between Sanskrit and Bengali. ...
Though a number of Indic languages accepted Sanskritiazion of their language eventually, Bengali retains its Australoid folk way of Lokayon or naturalization of new words to evolve as a complete language strong enough to survive even in disastrous crisis and linguistic imperialism.
The Loukik Bengali is still fighting a silent yet severe colonization attempt, or Sanskritization to be more specific, by the ancestors of the Sanskrit Pundits of previous couple of centuries.
Keep in touch. We will talk about Bengali– Bengali of the people.
