Complaint

In a previous edit much like the word buck (pl. bucks) in English is used to refer to dollar amounts. was used to describe the use of Taka to refer to the Indian Rupee, in the Assamese and Bengali languages.

This isn't a valid analogy. Taka is used officially to refer to the Indian Rupee in these languages (look at any Rupee note, or at http://www.rbi.org.in/currency/Language%20Panel%20on%20Notes.html which contains a written description of the denomination in each Indian language. For Assamese and Bengali, Taka is written.

On the other hand, (for example), the US Dollar is never officially called a buck.

I understand your point, but the sentence "though this article will talk about the Bangladeshi currency" sounds really awkward. Can you reword it? --Ragib 16:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
