Romanization System

Use one roman letter for one bengali letter. Eg. instead of "gh" (O) or "ch/chh" (Q/R), write G and C.
Think of one roman letter equivalent to a bengali letter, phonetically. Eg. h should be equivalent to "b" – not "ba" or "baw". When we write or pronounce h, it has the "hÚ" sound in it, plus the "A " vowel.
In this proposal, "B-L¡l " "C-L¡l " are expressed symbolically – not phonetically. Instead of "aa" or "a" for "B-L¡l ", we write "|" after a letter – eg. k|= L¡ . Here is the main difference of the proposed romanization from the ones currently in use.
For compound words, use "." after the first letter - which stands for qp ¢Qq² (Ú )z Eg: "‹'= SÚ+S Therefore we write "j. j "
There is no space between the letters and/or the punctuation marks within a word.

The best part of this romanization system is, if you get to know the basic rules once, you need not have to look at the romanization everytime - but you can type from your memory and logic. Since the rules are almost similar to Bengali, you should not take much time to learn them.

Matra Symbols

B-L¡l, C-L¡l, D- L¡l, H-L¡l, k-gm¡ etc. are written with the help of signs (not phonetically like ‘ke", ki, kee etc.) – but exactly the way we write in Bengali. Eg. k|= L¡ /k = ¢L k\=L£ (k = L k}= LÉ z Write them exactly in the same place as in Bengali - Eg., write "|" after a letter, "/" before a letter, "(" before a letter etc. Only lg is written before the letter, since it is a sound that stands inbetween the letter on which it sits, and the one before it.

Half Letters

If the half letter is the left half of a conjugate letters, consider it as a letter with qp ¢Qq² (Ú ) Eg.. p¤Ãa= p¤+fÚ+a Therefore write it as s.up.t
If the half letter is the right half of a conjugate letter, consider it as a letter after qp ¢Qq² (Ú ) Eg.. n¤LÔ¡=n¤+LÚ +m +¡ Therefore write as x.uk.l| for normal romanization. However while using transliteration for fonts, add a ' - 'sign before the latter half.
