Apparently, Bengali is an older colonial word. Whereas Bangla is the more modern and official version. It's widely used in the English-speaking world too (UN, BBC, Windows 8). I'm passing this along from an Ubuntu report. I myself am not well versed in the naming issue. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/991002 and https://launchpad.net/bugs/1070581 (At the least, the slash in "Bengali/Bangla" needs to be escaped, but changing the name to not need a slash is preferrable.) Patch coming.

The source file locales/bn_BD states the language "Bengali/Bangla" with a slash. A better name would be just "Bangla", since that's the official name of the language spoken in Bangladesh, and the native Bangla speakers seems to prefer it; please see bug #991002. The iso-codes package will soon provide translations of the name "Bangla", bug AFAIK noone provides translations of the string "Bengali/Bangla". But at least the bn_BD locale should be corrected so nl_langinfo() returns the string "Bengali/Bangla" including the slash. Two alternative patches have been attached to this bug report. One just escapes the slash ("Bengali//Bangla") to address the slash issue. The other patch changes the language in both bn_BD and bn_IN to Bangla. I involve bn_IN, since it's confusing in e.g. lists of locales that two locales use different English names for the same language. Please pick the patch that fits best. ;-) Let's talk about possible forwarding upstream when it has been decided which route to take.
