Bengali and Sanskrit transliteration in Affordable Laptop
How can I type "Bengali" phonetically in this Debian laptop? I would also like to know the same for the language "Sanskrit". I used AVRO keyboard for typing Bengali phonetically in Win OS. I have read that the same can be done on Linux OS but not sure how to do it here.

0Good question.
- sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list (now add the following anywhere in the file)
- deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian testing main
- Save and exit sources.list file
- sudo apt update
- Now follow the instructions given here https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro#avro-phonetic-for-linux-in-ibus
PS: I haven't tested it on my low cost laptop, but most certainly it should work.

0I have installed IBUS Avro using Sarim's instruction. Avro phonetic bangla loads nicely. But whenever I type, the output is in Arabic!
Any idea?
Is there any general way of phonetically typing the indian languages in this Debian laptop?
Sorry, no idea about Arabic issue!
The ibus is default in Debian repository.
I did the following:
1) sudo apt install ibus
1) sudo apt install ibus
2) From start menu -> search ibus-> open IBus Preferences
3) Click 'Add' on Ibus window and select more(three horizontal lines) -> search Bengali -> Select the phonetic one from list of 5(select probhat)
Although, I could change the input method, but can't use it (it still uses English only).
