Vowels

How Gujarati letters are built

Gujarati is written in Gujarati. Every consonant carries a short a sound. A vowel after it becomes a small sign around the letter, and two consonants with no vowel between them join into one shape.

One consonant with every vowel sign (barakhadi).

The vowel sign િ is drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Gujarati, ર before another consonant is drawn on top of it as a small hook (ધર્મ). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as Terafont-Varun stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

How to use the Gujarati on-screen keyboard

  1. Tap a consonant

    Tap a consonant. The vowel keys change to show the joined letters for it.

  2. Tap a vowel or the joining sign

    Tap a vowel key to finish the letter, or the joining sign (halant) to join it with the next consonant.

  3. Or use your keyboard

    Pick InScript or Terafont to type Gujarati with your computer keys; the layout is drawn below the keys. Copy all when you are done.

Good to know

  • Backspace removes one sign at a time.
  • InScript is the layout that comes with Windows and phones: vowels on the left of the keyboard, consonants on the right, signs typed after the letter.
  • The Terafont keys follow the old Gujarati typewriter: each key types a Terafont letter, so િ is typed before its letter and the r hook after it, as old typists learnt.
  • On a phone, the phone's own keyboard stays hidden so the keys have room. Tick Use phone keyboard too to bring it back.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between InScript and Terafont?

InScript is the Unicode standard layout that comes with Windows and phones. The Terafont keys follow the old Gujarati typewriter: each key types a Terafont letter, so િ is typed before its letter and the r hook after it, as old typists learnt.

How do I type a joined letter?

Tap the consonant, then halant, then the next consonant.

Do I need to install a Gujarati keyboard?

No. Everything works in this page with your normal keyboard or by tapping the keys.
