The maintainer of the FreeBSD Localization is Hye-Shik Chang
<pe...@Fr...>. He likes Unicode and UTF-8 very much. 

For FreeBSD, it needs time to study about the both locale bn_BD and
bn_IN. IMHO, I think the best way to add the bn_* locale(s) into FreeBSD
is you or Ankur Team leader contact the FreeBSD maintainer directly.
