The redundancy stems from the time when this script was used to write Sanskrit, a language that had short and long vowels: " ই" i ( হ্রস্ব ই rôshshô i, "short i") /i/ and " ঈ" ī ( দীর্ঘ ঈ dirghô ī, "long ī") /iː/, and " উ" u ( হ্রস্ব উ rôshshô u) /u/ and " ঊ" ū ( দীর্ঘ ঊ dirghô ū) /uː/. There are two graphemes for the vowel sound and two graphemes for the vowel sound.k/( ক with æ sound will be shown as ক্যা As a result, the sound is orthographically realised by multiple means in modern Bengali orthography, usually using some combination of " এ" e ( স্বর এ shôrô e, "vocalic e") /e/, " অ", " আ" a ( স্বর আ shôrô a) /a/ and the যফলা jôphôla (diacritic form of the consonant grapheme য jô).
