Is Bangla language written in Mythili script? Because every letter in the upper case is as in Bangla.

The script feels like a subtle variation if bengali. But that is not aurprising I guess.

bangla,asomia, maithili scripts are of the same stock....

One can see in it the root base shadow of Sanskrit!

The root of Bangla Assamese Oriya Maithili Bhojpuri Magadhi and other Eastern Magadhi languages are same ie. Purba Magadhi and therefore they share a similar script. However in the years leading to independence for strange political reasons due to adoption of Hindi by the Maithil-Bhojpuri-Magadhi speakers these scripts & languages died a slow death. Some survive as 'dialects'. A 'cultural colonialism' of the Nagari script and the Hindi language took place.

This is the old Tirhuta script in which maithili used to be written till even the late 19th century. devanagari was adopted mostly in the early 20th century. Bengali continues to be written in a variant of this script that a lot here are familiar with.

One must remember that Darbhangha district in Bihar derives its name directly from being 'Dwar Bang'. Ancient Videha i.e Sita's homeland of which Mithila was the capital and Janak its king is the origin of many of the common cultural threads of eastern India.
