Bengali (বাংলা) review centers on this evidence: verify Bengali vowel signs, conjunct letters, inherent-vowel effects, names, numbers, and colloquial versus formal wording. CLDR expansion gives bn a likely Beng default (Bengali–Assamese script). Never reinterpret that web-locale fallback as detected recording metadata or Bengali’s sole script. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include vowel signs, conjunct letters, word boundaries, names, and borrowed terminology. Project decision: which Bengali register and English-name transliteration policy the project uses. Before batch editing bn, a reviewer must record which Bengali register and English-name transliteration policy the project uses and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.

Frozen deployment boundary
This page is published only because its language is present in capability snapshot m10-2026-07-20.1. It does not extend that catalog or claim a measured accuracy score.
- The bn hint maps to the reviewed bn provider root and preserves bn as the user's transcript language tag.
- CLDR Beng is a likely/default locale hint, not an audio property; capability flags remain per language and model while editors confirm the project's real script and orthography.

Questions from the workflow
What must a Bengali editor decide before correcting the transcript?
vowel signs, consonant clusters, inflected forms, names, and borrowed speech should follow the selected standard rather than an automatic transliteration. For Bengali, verify Bengali vowel signs, conjunct letters, inherent-vowel effects, names, numbers, and colloquial versus formal wording. Project choice: which Bengali register and English-name transliteration policy the project uses. Keep unresolved forms beside their source timestamps.
