The Gospel of Mark, very useful for Gospel outreach.

Nathaniel B. Halhead of the East India Company published a Bengali grammar for British officials in 1776. William Carey of Serampore translated the Bible into the Bengali language and published it in 1793 and 1801. The high language Bengali translation in use in Bangladesh is derived from Carey's version, while "common language" versions are newer translations.Fr. Christian Mignon, a Belgian Jesuit, finished a revised version of the Bible in Bengali, named Mangalbarta which has copious footnotes. Missionaries have also translated the Bible into "Musalmani Bangla", as well as the Sylheti dialect.
