 The second word is often misspelled "Nagari", possibly due to confusion by translators with "Devanagari".The script has been known by other names such as "Jalalabadi Nagri" () after the name of Jalalabad (Greater Sylhet), and "Phul Nagri" () amongst others.Another popular but somewhat misleading term is "Musalmani Nagri" () which can be found in Achyut Charan Choudhury's book "Srihatter Itibritta".
