What is the Marathi Typing?
Marathi typing lets you write Marathi without installing a keyboard: type the way words sound in English letters and the Devanagari script appears as you type — 'maraaThii' becomes 'मराठी'. It uses the same phonetic scheme as Hindi typing, adjusted for Marathi with the letter ळ, ज्ञ spelled 'dny', and the ॉ sign for words like कॉलेज.

Frequently asked questions
How do I type ळ in Marathi?

How do I type ज्ञ?
Type dny — dnyaan gives ज्ञान. gy also gives ज्ञ.
Is this different from Hindi typing?
The sounds are the same Devanagari letters, but this tool adds Marathi's ळ, ज्ञ as dny, the ॉ sign and Marathi word spellings, and it does not add a nasal dot to a word-final n.
