#Bengali alphabet pronunciation how to
For more info on how to enable Bangla rendering support, see this link.
If you have the support installed, it will show up fine in Opera/Firefox too. Unicode is phonetic, so Ki would be "ka" followed by "Hrossho e". I guess the same would happen with Opera. Firefox won't render Bangla script correctly in WindowsXP (Which I assume you are using), unless Service Pack 2 is installed, and ControlPanel->Regional and Language settings->Languages->Support for Eastern/complex script is checked. IE is correct in rendering the text before your changes. The thing about unicoded Bangla text occurs because of the browser's different rendering of Bangla/eastern/complex text. Which version is correct for you - pre or post? What browser/OS are you using? Do you have any ideas on what can be done to ensure universal correctness (heh!) in the future? The ultimate purpose of this long winded passage is to find out what other people are seeing in order to keep the most "correct" version. The Firefox result is interesting as it doesn't correlate with what SameerKhan has said. On my system it seems that IE is being the rogue. I have made screen shots of the table column in question from Opera 8, Mozilla Firefox 1 and MS IE 6 (all under Windows).
But then differring browser rendering reared its ugly head. My primary browser is Opera and the vowel symbols were appearing on the wrong side of the consonant so I thought I would change it. Perhaps a wider audience can give some insight. I'll move this, and my findings, to the Bengali script talk page. I've looked into it and the results are both interesting, puzzling and ever so slightly frustrating. SameerKhan 19:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC) Eek! Unicode and browser compatibility whackiness. If it's just my browser, I'm of course fine with the change! I just want to make sure it's not also more confusing on other browsers. Does it look better now on IE/whatever browser you are using? I don't know if that has to do with the fact that I use Mozilla Firefox. For me, at least, the vowels no longer work. For me, the vowel placement was working before, and now there is the little Unicode dotted circle carrying each vowel diacritic instead of the kô itself. I noticed you changed the vowel placement on the Bengali script page. I made some changes to the vowel table yesterday which I thought was fixing a display issue. SameerKhan 07:44, 15 July 2005 (UTC) Bengali vowels Please let me know if anyone has any objection to the corrections. I have just (anonymously) edited the IPA transcriptions, along with some other minor points. Also, could someone make sure that all the letters in Assamese script are on the table and the numbers are transliterated properly? Thanks. So if anyone with knowledge of IPA could please go through it, it would be excellent. I have added the table for Bangla script just now (although due my stupidity, it got registered as anon edit)! I am not sure of the IPA symbols.
