How Bangla letters are built
Bangla is written in Bengali. Every consonant carries a short a sound. A vowel after it becomes a small sign around the letter, and two consonants with no vowel between them join into one shape.
| অo | আa | ইi | ঈI | উu | ঊU | ঋrri | এe | ঐOI | ওO | ঔOU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ক | কা | কি | কী | কু | কূ | কৃ | কে | কৈ | কো | কৌ |
The vowel signs ি ে ৈ are drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Bangla, র before another consonant is drawn on top of it (the reph) (ধর্ম). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as Bijoy stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.
How to type in Bangla with an English keyboard
Type the sound
Type the word as it sounds in English letters, such as bangla. Each word turns into Bangla as you type, and the space bar finishes it.
Pick the right spelling
When a word could be spelt more than one way, the choices show above the box. Press 1 to 6, or the down arrow, to pick one. Esc keeps the English letters.
Copy or save
Copy all puts the Bangla text on your clipboard for a message, post or form. Download it as Word, PDF or text, or print it.
Good to know
- o is the vowel every letter already has, so kotha gives কথা; a gives the aa sign, as in ami for আমি.
- ng after a vowel gives ং (bangla to বাংলা), ^ gives ঁ and H gives ঃ.
- y or Z after a letter adds the ya-phala (bakyo to বাক্য); w adds the ba-phala (dwar to দ্বার).
- Capitals choose the harder sound: T, Th, D, Dh, N and Sh. R gives ড় and Rh gives ঢ়.
- O gives ো, OI gives ৈ and OU gives ৌ; t`` gives ৎ.
- A full stop after a Bangla word becomes the dari (।).
- Press Alt+T, F9 or Ctrl+Space to type an English word in the middle of Bangla, then press it again to go back.
