In this sense, all nouns in Bengali, unlike most other Indo-European languages, are similar to mass nouns. An appropriate measure word (MW), a classifier, must be used between the numeral and the noun (most languages of the Mainland Southeast Asia linguistic area are similar in this respect). Romani grammar is also closer to Bengali grammar than to that of western Indo-Aryan languages. Some of them are the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, or IAST system (based on diacritics); “Indian languages Transliteration”, or ITRANS (uses upper case letters suited for ASCII keyboards); and the National Library at Kolkata romanisation.

However, nouns and pronouns are moderately declined (altered depending on their function in a sentence) into four cases while verbs are heavily conjugated, and the verbs do not change form depending on the number of the noun. Published under the imprint of Benglish Books, these are based on phonetic transliteration and closely follow spellings used in social media but for using an underline to describe soft consonants.

The potential influence of Tibeto-Burman languages on the phonology of Eastern Bengali is used to explain the lack of nasalised vowels and an alveolar articulation of what are categorised as the “cerebral” consonants (as opposed to the postalveolar articulation of western Bengal). The Bengali-Assamese script is an abugida, a script with letters for consonants, with diacritics for vowels, and in which an inherent vowel (অ ô) is assumed for consonants if no vowel is marked. These 39 consonants combine with vowels to create all Bengali words.
