Examples: namaste → नमस्ते, bhaarat → भारत, kRShNa → कृष्ण, gyaan → ज्ञान. Use lowercase for names, because capitals have special meanings (T = ट, t = त).

How to type in Hindi using English

  1. Type Hindi words in English letters, for example “aap kaise hai~”.
  2. The Hindi text appears on the right as you type.
  3. Use capitals for retroflex sounds (T = ट, D = ड) and doubled vowels for long sounds (aa = आ).
  4. Copy the Hindi text.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type the bindu (ं) and chandrabindu (ँ)?

Type M for ं, or simply n/m before a consonant, as in hindii → हिंदी. Type ~ after a vowel for ँ, as in hai~ → हैँ.

How do I type ज़ and फ़?

Type z for ज़ and f for फ़.

Why does “ram” become राम without a halant?

Hindi words do not pronounce the final “a”, so a final consonant is written without ् automatically.
