What is the Malayalam Typing?

Malayalam typing lets you write Malayalam without a special keyboard: type Manglish — Malayalam in English letters — and the script appears as you type. 'malayalam' becomes 'മലയാളം' and 'namaskaram' becomes 'നമസ്കാരം'. The tool handles Malayalam's chillu letters (ൺ ൻ ർ ൽ ൾ), conjuncts joined with the virama and the anusvara ം.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type ള, ഴ and റ?

Use L for ള, zh for ഴ and R for റ: avaL → അവൾ, paRaya → പറയ.

How do I get a long vowel?

Double the vowel or use a capital: aa ാ, ee ീ, oo ൂ, E േ, O ോ — snEhikkunnu gives സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു.

Why is malayalam typed exactly right but other words need capitals?

Manglish spelling is not one-to-one. A small list of very common words is spelled in full; for other words use long vowels and capitals from the letter guide.

Will I see Malayalam on my device?

Windows, Android and iPhone include a Malayalam font. If you see boxes, install one such as Noto Sans Malayalam. Copied text is Unicode and works in WhatsApp, Gmail and Word.
