However, the next obstacle is likely to be speed. I can touch-type English at around 30-40 wpm. If I want to write in Bangla, that will come down to, maybe, around 5-10 wpm with a higher error ratio. Please focus some of your research on this area which will allow you to capture a greater number of users.
Avro Keyboard supports Phonetic typing, extramly useful for those who are adopted in English keyboard layout. For example, if you type "ami banglay gan gai", Avro Keyboard is intelligent enough to convert that to Bangla. The benefit is, you are not loosing typing speed at all by trying to use a new Bangla keyboard layout.

Another problem I find is spelling!! Because I haven't studied Bangla, I can never get the spellings right. When should I use a jonthosh-sha instead of talibosh-sha (for example). An integrated spell checker into the keyboard would provide a much needed feature across all applications that the keyboard can be used on rather than relying on the applications have a spell checker.
What a co-insidence! Recently we have taken a Bangla dictionary project and I hope withe the next release of Avro Keyboard, you will get a free Bangla spell checker!

Lastly, thanks goes to bdkid39, I was hesitating to be as bold like you brother (some people may misunderstand that approach). আসুন বাংলায় লিখি, বাংলিশে না!
