Abstract
We present a phonetic encoding for Bangla that can be used by
spelling checkers, transliteration, name searching application and
cross-lingual information retrieval to drastically improve the quality.
The complex, and often inconsistent, rules of Bangla word present a
significant challenge in producing a proper phonetic code. We propose
a phonetic encoding for Bangla, taking into account the various
context-sensitive rules, including those involving the large repertoire of
conjuncts in Bangla.
