On the whole the style of writing in Bengal starts with certain peculiarities of its own, but later is gradually brought closer to that of the Middle Ganges Valley. Only a few letters point towards the modern Bengali, and as a whole proto-Bengali has not developed. In fact proto-Nāgarī invaded this region and it was long before its influence disappeared and a local style quite distinct from that of the Middle Ganges Valley was evolved.
