Thank you for clarifying this aspect, Learn Bitcoin. We learned something new today. I was not aware of the correct usage of this ticker. For some reason I always thought that "[BEN]" is the appropriate one. In any case, things are clear now. In this case I will kindly ask Porf to update "[BEN]" to "[BAN]" wherever this ticker was used in second post of the topic.

And, having that in mind, I would also want to know if the term "Bengali" is correct. I am asking this in case I should also make an update for my topic of translations.

Okay, I am back home now. Dear Gazeta, you weren't wrong. We the local people always use Bangla and Bangali when we refer to us. But, English speakers identify us as Bengali. So, Bengali is also widely used to refer to the Bangla language. It's just like Indians call themself Bharati and their country India is also called Bharat. Both terms are correct.

Now, Here both Bengali and Bangla can be considered correct because English speakers always identify us as Bengali while we locals call us Bangali. Bengali is nationality and Bangla is the language. Just like England is the country and English is the language. I guess we should be okay with Bengali as well.
