XHK is an acronym for eXtended Harvard-Kyoto. XHK is an extension for the popular Harvard-Kyoto transliteration system, developed to better accommodate transliteration of Bengali script.
The standard is accompanied with XIAST, the corresponding extensions to IAST, the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, that on its own is slightly insufficient for the exact duplication of the full range of the Bengali alphabet.

The community has been helpful in online discussions related to the development.
The next revision, v1.20, of XHK is now released based on the notes and the feedback made at a development discussion at Bhasa.Net resource. There is still some ground to cover for future revisions, tidying up some loose ends with more exotic glyphs. I have also included Devanagari glyphs in the XHK character map.
With this, the change history of the XHK standard has also been included in the project development page with access to older revisions in PDF format.
As you may know, we've extended the Harvard-Kyoto convention to accommodate lossless Bengali transliteration. Now, some nuances are missing, and we need help in the development of the standard. Read the thread above for more information.
