Compare :
Transliteration way : aami bhaalo aachhi
Our way : a|/m v|l a|/C

Our objective :
ONE English letter per ONE Bengali letter ;
ONE typing symbol per ONE Bengali symbol .

Do you know that there is a fantastically easy, natural and exact way of writing Bengali, which is also an exciting way to communicate with your Bengali friends and relatives whenever you use e-mail. How do you like to find a method which enables you to spell each word of the Bengali language with the same degree of accuracy as when you write it in Bengali itself, but while using in reality the letters and symbols found on the keyboard of your computer ? ( Please bear in mind that not all computers are equipped to send and receive e-mails in real Bengali fonts.)

Nobody would deny the fact that because no such exact method of writing existed up until very recently most Bengalees preferred to use English in their regular e-mail communications or otherwise opted for an inferior way of writing Bengali, namely, 'transliteration',-- which, as a matter of fact, is a phonetic translation of each word and not a symbolic representation, as is the case with our present system. I am confident that once you have started using our system , you will NEVER go back to writing Bengali through that 'old-fashioned' transliteration way, like: aami bhaalo aachhi, which is, in fact, an inexact and arbitrary way of writing Bengali, because somebody else could have written the same thing as: amee valo aachy and a third in another way, besides being encumbered with the added disadvantage of using too many letters per word.

I will provide you with several examples and you will know WITHIN MINUTES, how to write Bengali through this unique method using the letters and symbols available on your computer's keyboard. Why is it so easy? Because you will be writing in EXACTLY the same way as you would normally do when you write Bengali with its OWN letters and symbols !

Let me now reveal to you the REAL secret : The ultimate effectiveness of this method arises from the fact that EACH BENGALI LETTER AND
EACH BENGALI SYMBOL IS SUBSTITUTED RESPECTIVELY
BY A SINGLE APPROPRIATE LETTER(in some cases a suffix is
attached to the letter ) AND BY A SINGLE TYPING SYMBOL , ALL FOUND ON THE KEYBOARD OF YOUR COMPUTER.

Test and see just how easy it is to use this method as you study the following examples : The Bengali word 'aami' meaning 'I' is written as: a|/m . ( This / is the Bengali vowel-symbol short-i, whereas the symbol | represents an 'aa-kar', like in the word 'aami' ). The word 'bhaalo' (well) is written as v|l , and 'aachhi' as a|/C , where C stands for the Bengali consonant-letter 'chh' , as opposed to the small c, which represents the Bengali consonant-letter 'ch' . . So, 'aami bhaalo aachhi' can now be written as:
a|/m v|l a|/C , exactly as you would write in real Bengali.

See how neat and natural it is ! (It is almost self-explanatory to anyone knowing Bengali). Thanks to the efficacy of this system , there is NO longer any need to write those l-o-n-g cumbersome, awkward spellings, like: aami bhaalo aachhi. The simpleness and straight-forwardness of this method as compared to 'transliteration' can be readily shown by an example: Whereas the Bengali word for 'uneven' is written in the transliteration way as : asamotal , it is written in our present system as : asmtl , just as you would write with actual Bengali characters.

Here are the full sets of Bengali vowels and consonants as are being used in this method: (print these out so as to keep a permanent record)

Too complicated, and who cares as long as reader understands?
