Hold up, how is this different from programming in e.g. Python or Javascript with Bangla characters? Why does it need to be a different syntax too? Can I use English characters with the Pakhi programming langauge?

I don't think people will ever use this on serious work. It's not even close to python or javascript, so there is no reason to use this instead of those. You can name variables with english characters or any other utf8 characters (including emojis).

Its not a serious project, i worked on it during pandemic when all of our educational institutes were closed.

My mistake, I got confused. Corrected. But my question still stands.
No worries, I redacted my comment. Forgot that this ain’t Reddit for a moment.

I think the lexer and parser won’t work if you write `if` instead of `যদি`. Just as the opposite won’t work in Java.
