Gemini UNWILLINGLY Speaks Bengali

I’ve noticed that Gemini, particularly in literary conversations (critical thinking and “what if” scenarios), seems to incorporate Bengali or Thai words or in the whole response (I don’t know, I’m unfamiliar with either language), even when the overall conversation is in English or Arabic.
While I don’t speak Bengali, Google Translate reveals coherent sentences, not just gibberish.
I observed this in the defunct gemini-exp-1206 and currently in gemini-flash-2.0-thinking-exp-01-21 when the thinking process is skipped.
Note that I have not tried the other models.

happened to me lol, it randomly started talking about my internet being down in belgali in the middle of a conversation and then went back to normal like nothing happened
