Nepali Typing (Roman → Nepali)

Type Nepali with a normal English keyboard. Each word turns into Nepali Unicode as you press space — namaste becomes नमस्ते.

Words convert when you press space, Enter or punctuation. Press Ctrl+Space to switch to English. On some Android keyboards use “Convert text” mode instead.

Type Nepali Online with an English Keyboard

Write Nepali without installing a keyboard. Type phonetically in English letters and the tool converts each word into Devanagari when you press space or punctuation. Copy the result and paste it into Facebook, WhatsApp, Word, Gmail or any website. A second mode converts a block of pasted Roman text all at once.

How the typing scheme works

  • Vowels: a, i, u, e, o are short; use aa, ee, oo (or the capitals A, I, U) for long sounds.
  • Consonants typed back to back join automatically: namaste → नमस्ते. Type an extra a to keep them apart: sarakaar → सरकार.
  • Capitals give the hard sounds: T Th D Dh N → ट ठ ड ढ ण, and Sh → ष.
  • Common conjuncts: ksh → क्ष, tr → त्र, gy → ज्ञ, shr → श्र.

Good to know

  • This is a rule-based phonetic converter with no dictionary, so you control the spelling.
  • The “Type directly” box edits the end of the text; use Convert mode for corrections in the middle or on Android keyboards that bypass key events.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Nepali Unicode?

Yes. The output is standard Unicode Devanagari, so it works on every website, app and device.

Why did “sarkar” not give सरकार?

Consonants typed back to back are joined, so type sarakaar. Adding the vowel letters tells the converter exactly what you mean.

Can I type English words in between?

In the typing box press Ctrl+Space to switch to English. In Convert mode, wrap English in braces like {Hello}.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. If your phone keyboard doesn’t convert while typing, switch to Convert text mode and paste or type your Roman text there.
