Bijoy Bangla 2000 Software

Go to: • • • • • • • Although Bangla is the seventh most-spoken language in the world, there was no well-functioning, simple and easy-to-use software for typing in this language until the late 1980s. Understanding the need for a feasible Bangla input software and script writing interface, Mr. Mustafa Jabbar, a Bangladeshi journalist, developed software and a keyboard layout, which greatly changed the printing and publishing industry in Bangladesh.

The Bijoy Bangla Software and Keyboard Layout grew popular among users, and Mr. Jabbar has benefited from (IP) protection for his widely-used Bangla script writing interface system.

He began his career as a journalist in 1972, while still a student. He started a computer business in 1987, but technological limitations were particularly constraining for the printing and publishing industries in Bangladesh and other Bangla-speaking regions. Jabbar considered ways to overcome the technological limitations of the Bangla script writing system in these industries.

He started by creating some Bangla fonts and subsequently developing the Bangla software and a Bangla keyboard layout known as “Bijoy.” Bijoy has established itself as one of the top Bangla script writing interface systems among a community of 350 million Bangla-speaking people. In fact, the Bijoy Keyboard Layout (BDS 1738:2018) and Bijoy Coding System (BDS 1935:2018) were declared to be the national standard Bangla Script Writing in Bangladesh, making it the only standard for Bangla script writing in the world. Despite increasing competition from other Bangla writing systems, Mr. Jabbar’s pioneering role in the invention of the Bijoy Bangla Script Writing Interface System and promotion of information and communication technology (ICT) has been recognized by the Bangladeshi Government.

Jabbar was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology in Bangladesh. A keyboard is born The main challenge Mr. Jabbar faced was accommodating the hundreds of Bangla characters, including additional vowels and consonants and consonant conjuncts, within a standard Macintosh keyboard in a QWERTY layout. At the time, there were already at least two other Bangla keyboard layouts: the “Munir” keyboard, which was developed in 1969 for use in typewriters; and the “ShahidLipi” which was the first complete Bangla font for computers.

Jabbar wanted to overcome many of the limitations associated with the existing options by developing a new Bangla interface with a new layout. A breakthrough came one and a half years of continuous work with the release of the first version of the Bijoy Bangla Software in 1988. The software was initially programmed by an Indian programmer named Mr. Devendra Joshi, but later developed by Mr.
