The Bengali Wikipedia (Bengali: বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়া, Bānlā u'ikipiḍiẏā) is the Bengali language version of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Like Hindi Wikipedia, it has a phonetic Latin alphabet to Bengali script tool so Latin alphabet keyboards can be used to type Bengali without downloading any software.[1]

Bengali Wikipedia crossed 10,000 articles in October 2006, becoming the second South-Asian language to do so. [2]

As of November 13, 2009, it had over 20,500 articles and was the 67th largest Wikipedia by article count.[citation needed]As of October 2011, it has over 22,000 articles and is the 76th largest Wikipedia by article count.[citation needed] Currently it has 26,000 articles. [3]
