It seems likely that the standardization of the alphabet will be greatly influenced by the need to typeset it on computers. Among the various regional variations within this script, only the Assamese and Bengali variations exist today in the formalized system. While efforts at standardizing the alphabet for the Bengali language continue in such notable centres as the Bangla Academies (unaffiliated) at Dhaka ( Bangladesh) and Kolkata ( West Bengal, India), it is still not quite uniform as yet, as many people continue to use various archaic forms of letters, resulting in concurrent forms for the same sounds.

In the Bengali script, clusters of consonants are represented by different and sometimes quite irregular forms thus, learning to read is complicated by the sheer size of the full set of letters and letter combinations, numbering about 350. Signature of Rabindranath Tagore (রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর) in Bengali script After the medieval period, the use of Sanskrit as the sole written language gave way to Pali, and eventually to the vernacular languages we know now as Maithili, Bengali, and Assamese.There is a rich legacy of Indian literature written in this script, which is still occasionally used to write Sanskrit today. Epics of Hindu scripture, including the Mahabharata or Ramayana, were written Mithilakshar/Tirhuta script in this region. The script was originally used to write Sanskrit. It was standardized into the modern Bengali script by Ishwar Chandra under the reign of the British East India Company. The Bengali script was originally not associated with any particular language, but was often used in the eastern regions of Medieval India.
In addition to differences in how the letters are pronounced in the different languages, there are some typographical differences between the version of the script used for Assamese and Bishnupriya Manipuri as well as Maithili languages, and that used for Bengali and other languages. Both Eastern Nagari and Devanagari were derived from the ancient Nagari script. The Bengali script evolved from the Eastern Nagari script, which belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts, along with the Devanagari and other written systems of the Indian subcontinent.
