Abugida: A writing system in which consonant letters carry an inherent vowel that other signs can modify or suppress. The script uses inherent vowels and dependent vowel signs rather than treating every vowel as an independent letter.
Bengali orthography: The conventions governing spelling and written forms in Bengali. Its spellings show how Bengali adapts the shared script to its own sound system and history.
Brahmic scripts: A family of writing systems descended from ancient Brahmi and used across South and Southeast Asia. The Bengali–Assamese script belongs to this broad historical lineage.
Bengali language: An Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. Bengali is the script's principal language of use and has a large literary tradition.
Odia script: An abugida used chiefly to write the Odia language, with rounded letter forms. It shares eastern Brahmic ancestry but developed a distinct regional inventory and appearance.
