Learn to write the Bengali alphabet

Watch each letter of the Bengali alphabet drawn stroke by stroke. Switch between animation styles below — Tier 1 splits each glyph into its font contours, Tier 2 draws the outline, Tier 3 fills the letter top to bottom.

A note on stroke order

The Tier 1 animation traces each letter's font contours in the order they're defined in the Noto Sans font — not the order a calligrapher or teacher would actually draw the strokes. We've chosen this approach because hand-authored stroke-order data for Indic scripts is not widely available as open data. The animation is still useful for showing the shape of each letter clearly; for authentic handwriting practice, follow a printed copybook alongside.
