Middle Bengali (Bengali: মধ্যযুগীয় বাংলা), is a historical form of the Bengali language that covers the period from the approximately 1200 CE to the 1800 CE. In this period, Middle Bengali became distinguished from the Old Bengali. Although this variety of Bengali language is primarily associated with the Bengal, but its spread extends from a vast area of eastern South Asia to the western frontier of Southeast Asia.
