ক্‌ + vowels

Consonants

ক = ka, খ = Ka/kha, গ = ga, ঘ = Ga/gha, ঙ = `ga চ = ca, ছ = Ca/cha/Cha, জ = ja, ঝ = Ja/jha, ঞ = `ja ট = Ta, ঠ = Tha, ড = Da, ঢ = Dha, ণ = Na ত = ta, থ = tha, দ = da, ধ = dha, ন = na প = pa, ফ = Pa/pha, ব = ba, ভ = Ba/bha, મ = ma য = ya, র = ra, ল = la, ল = La, ব = va/wa শ = sha/Sa, ষ = Sha, স = sa, হ = ha ক্ষ = ksha/xa, জ্ঞ = j`ja

x, ` and X modifiers

x when applied after certain Bengali letters modifies them. For e.g. kruxpaa = কৃপা, Rux = ৠ, ঽ = ऽ (avagraha), ১ = १ (Bengali numeral 1) Whenever x does not take the role of a modifier, it just prints 'ক্ষ'. For e.g. laxman = লক্ষ্মন ` when applied before certain Bengali consonants modifies them. For e.g. `g = ঙ, `j = ঞ, j`j = জ্ঞ ` when applied between certain Bengali consonants (like k`h, g`h, t`h, d`h, etc.) helps them to form their natural conjuncts. For e.g. bakkiMghaam = বক্কিংঘাম whereas bakkiMg`haam = বক্কিংগ্হাম X can be applied between Bengali consonants to help form their half-consonants. For e.g. rakshaa = রক্ষা whereas rakXshaa = রক্‍শা XX can be applied between Bengali consonants to help form consonants with halant symbol. For e.g. baakyaa = বাক্যা whereas baakXXyaa = বাক্‌যা X or XX can be applied between certain Bengali vowels (say 'ai' or 'ou') to help them get separated into their component vowels. For e.g. priyaiMDiyaa = প্রিযৈংডিযা whereas priyaXiMDiyaa = প্রিয‍ইংডিযা
