Kavigan? Kabigan? Kabigaan? - what should be the right spelling? Kaviyal? Kabiyal? Kabial? - again what's the right spelling? Is there any scholarly source that shows the right way? Aditya(talk • contribs)04:19, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was in a similar dilemma when I wrote this piece. Traditionally, the English rendering of the Bengali word for poet was spelled 'Kavi'. This is borne out by Dr. Sukumar Sen, in his History of Bengali Literature (English version) and Dr. R.C.Majumdar in his History of Mediaeval Bengal. There are such spellings as Kavicandra, Kavindra, and Kavisekhar. However, Dr. Sukumar Sen, uses the words 'Kabi' poetry for this particular variation. In a more contemporary writing Sumanta Banerjee (a journalist) in his The World of Ramjan Ostagar, the Common Man of Old Calcutta (published in Calcutta the Living City) uses the spellings kabi-gan and kabiyal. Moreover, there could be regional variations. Pohela Boishakh in Dhaka becomes Poila Boisakh in Kolkata. - Chandan Guha (talk) 13:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Other spellings may be redirected to here. I personally feel any spelling may be used, and other spellings can be mentioned in the article as variations of spelling.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:23, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
