Excerpt from The Origin of the Bengali Script

The completely developed alphabet has not changed at all during the 17th and 18th centuries a.d. In the 19th century, the vernacular and classical literature received a fresh impetus, as the result of the contact with the West, but the alphabet ceased to change. Its forms were stereotyped by the introduction of the printing press, and it is not likely that in future it will change its forms in each century.
