How do I use this Bengali keyboard?
Type Bengali words the way they sound, using Latin letters, and they are written in Bengali script as you type. For example ami gives আমি, bangla gives বাংলা and kolom gives কলম. You can also click or tap the letters on the on-screen keyboard.
How do I type vowels?
o is the vowel every letter already has, so kolom gives কলম, and a gives া. After a consonant, i → ি, I or ee → ী, u → ু, U or uu → ূ, e → ে, O → ো (as in bhalO → ভালো), OI → ৈ, OU → ৌ and rri → ৃ. At the start of a word or after another vowel you get the full letter: boi → বই.
How do I type special letters and marks?
Capitals give T → ট, D → ড, N → ণ, S → ষ, R → ড় and Rh → ঢ়. z gives য, y gives য়, and y after a consonant gives ্য (bykti → ব্যক্তি). Use ng for ং, ~ for ঁ, H for ঃ, t` for ৎ, kSh for ক্ষ, gg for জ্ঞ and | for ।. Consonants typed together are joined, as in bondhu → বন্ধু.
