First of all, the letter that looks like a "y" in hindi is NOT a "z" in bangla, it is a harder "j", a sound not found in Hindi. there is no real "z" sound in bangla, the first "j" is used for a "z". Also, the "s" letter is pronounced like a softer "sh", though in a few words it is pronounced as an "s". I would recommend that you (if u don't mind my saying) write "s, sh" under that letter. And the vowels are different from Hindi to Bangla: the vowels are: aw (NOT the same sound as in Hindi, it is the sound in "hot" or "lot") aa (similar to Hindi) i (similar to Hindi) ee (similar to Hindi) u (similar to Hindi) oo (similar to Hindi) ri (similar to Hindi) e (similar to Hindi) oi (NOT the same as in Hindi, it is the sound in "loin" or "join") o (similar to Hindi) ou (NOT the same as in Hindi, no similar letter, it's just an "o" that becomes a "u" making an "ou" sound)
