Hello I am an outsider please forgive my intrusion. This is just a suggestion u may find worth looking into. All the commercial sw (and some noncom also) uses phonetic kbd layout. I have used them. The bangla typewriter kbd though ok for the typewriter, has limitations. If you want I can send you the layout.
There are two distinct advantages One, similar sounding letters are nearby and two for all yuktakshars a single key is used. Further if you are interested.
