• Source: Kha (Bengali)

      • The Bengali letter খ is derived from the Siddhaṃ , and is marked by the lack of a horizontal head line, unlike its Devanagari counterpart, ख. The inherent vowel of Bengali consonant letters is /ɔ/, so the bare letter খ will sometimes be transliterated as "kho" instead of "kha". Adding okar, the "o" vowel mark, খো, gives a reading of /kho/.
      Like all Indic consonants, খ can be modified by marks to indicate another (or no) vowel than its inherent "a".


      খ in Bengali-using languages


      খ is used as a basic consonant character in all of the major Bengali script orthographies, including Bengali and Assamese.
