How Marathi letters are built

Marathi is written in Devanagari. 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).
अaआaaइiईiiउuऊuuऋRएeऐaiओoऔauऑO
ककाकिकीकुकूकृकेकैकोकौकॉ

The vowel sign ि is drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Marathi, र before another consonant is drawn on top of it as a small hook (धर्म). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as Kruti Dev 010 stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

How to use the Marathi on-screen keyboard

  1. Tap a consonant

    Tap a consonant such as क. The vowel keys change to show the joined letters: का, कि, की and so on.

  2. Tap a vowel or halant

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

  3. Or use your keyboard

    Pick InScript or Remington to type Marathi 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, so का goes back to क.
  • InScript is the government standard: vowels on the left of the keyboard, consonants on the right, signs typed after the letter.
  • Remington is the old typewriter layout used with Kruti Dev: the short i sign is typed before its letter.
  • 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 Remington?

InScript is the Unicode standard layout that comes with Windows and phones. Remington follows the old typewriter and the Kruti Dev font, so ि is typed before its letter. Typing exams use one or the other.

How do I type a half letter?

Tap the consonant, then halant (्), then the next consonant: क + ् + य gives क्य.

Do I need to install a Marathi keyboard?

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

Is my text uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser on this device. Nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, and the saved draft stays in this browser only.
