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).
અaઆaaઇiઈiiઉuઊuuઋRએeઐaiઓoઔauઑO
કકાકિકીકુકૂકૃકેકૈકોકૌકૉ

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 type in Gujarati with an English keyboard

  1. Type the sound

    Type the word as it sounds in English letters, such as kem cho. Each word turns into Gujarati as you type, and the space bar finishes it.

  2. Pick the right spelling

    When a word could be spelt more than one way, the choices show above the box. Press 1 to 6, or the down arrow, to pick one. Esc keeps the English letters.

  3. Copy or save

    Copy all puts the Gujarati text on your clipboard for a message, post or form. Download it as Word, PDF or text, or print it.

Good to know

  • Double vowels make long ones: aa, ii or ee, uu or oo. A final i is read as the long one, as most words are spelt.
  • Capitals choose the harder sound: T, Th, D, Dh and N. L gives ળ (shaaLaa to શાળા).
  • n or m before another letter becomes the anusvara: sambandh gives સંબંધ.
  • M adds ં, MM adds ઁ and H adds ઃ after a vowel. O gives ઑ (Ofis to ઑફિસ).
  • Everyday words come from a word list: kem cho gives કેમ છો.
  • Press Alt+T, F9 or Ctrl+Space to type an English word in the middle of Gujarati, then press it again to go back.
