The majority of the novel which is written from Nazneen's point of view is written in standard British English. Hasina's letters, on the other hand, are written in her broken English. Brick Lane contains a rich scattering of Bengali words and parables throughout the novel. The author uses the English version of the word in dialogue soon after its first appearance so that the meaning is clear.
