While I 100% applaud the effort - and I absolutely love the idea of languages in non-English languages - you should be aware that phonetically (and if you drop the 'h'), the name is a racist term in the UK at least.
Pakhi means bird in Bangla. Bangladeshis also used to be Pakistani, so they're probably fine. ;)

I love the concept, this project has the potential to bring a whole new demography to the fold of programming.
I would be interested in a programming language that reflected the grammar and structure of a non-English human language. Procedural languages are quite “englishy”, and while production (logic) languages aren’t, they don’t really feel like any human language I’ve used.
I think there’s an interesting line of research in looking into programming metaphors and syntax drawn from non-PIE-family languages.
Hold up, how is this different from programming in e.g. Python or Javascript with Bangla characters? Why does it need to be a different syntax too? Can I use English characters with the Pakhi programming langauge?

My mistake, I got confused. Corrected. But my question still stands.
I think the lexer and parser won’t work if you write `if` instead of `যদি`. Just as the opposite won’t work in Java.
