Reference excerpt

In Bangladeshi humour and popular culture, Murad Takla (Bengali: মুরাদ টাকলা) refers to someone who writes Bengali words using the Latin script in a bizarre or unorthodox fashion, inadvertently producing a distorted meaning. The phrase originated in the 2010s.

History The term Murad Takla originated from a Facebook comment posted on 14 July 2012. In the thread, one user advised another to speak logically, asked why they had a "lame" profile picture, and told them to learn before speaking. A screenshot of the comment went viral on Facebook due to its unintentional humour: the commenter wrote Murad Takla (intended as Murod thakle, Banglish for "if you have courage"), but the pronunciation resembled "a bald person named Murad". The phrase became popular and synonymous with writing distorted Bengali using the Latin script. Following the incident, a Facebook page named Murad Takla was created on 18 November 2012. The page, dedicated to sharing humorous posts written in Bengali using Latin letters, gained popularity and raised awareness of the potential difficulties in transliteration. The term was also applied to Bangladeshi politician Murad Hasan following a controversy involving a leaked phone call. Discussions surrounding Hasan caused some confusion regarding the term's origin.

Dictionary In 2020, Simu Nasser and Pian Mughdha Nabi published the Murad Takla Dictionary to assist in interpreting sentences written in the "Takla language".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Murad Takla

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Murad Takla claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Murad Takla before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Murad Takla ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Murad Takla

In research: Murad Takla appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Murad Takla in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Murad Takla is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010s fads and trends, Bengali words and phrases, Internet memes introduced from Bangladesh, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Murad Takla outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
