How Odia letters are built

Odia is written in Odia. 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).
ଅaଆaaଇiଈiiଉuଊuuଋRଏeଐaiଓoଔau
କକାକିକୀକୁକୂକୃକେକୈକୋକୌ

The vowel signs େ ୈ are drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Odia, the second of two joined consonants is often drawn small below the first (ଶକ୍ତି). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as OR-TT Sarala stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

How to type in Odia with an English keyboard

  1. Type the sound

    Type the word as it sounds in English letters, such as odia. Each word turns into Odia 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 Odia 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.
  • R gives ଡ଼ (oRiaa to ଓଡ଼ିଆ), Rh gives ଢ଼ and L gives ଳ.
  • y gives ୟ, and after a letter it adds the ya-phala (bakya to ବକ୍ୟ); Y gives ଯ.
  • w gives ୱ, and after a letter it joins below it (biswa to ବିସ୍ୱ).
  • Capitals choose the harder sound: T, Th, D, Dh, N and Sh. M adds ଂ, MM adds ଁ and H adds ଃ.
  • A full stop after an Odia word becomes the danda (।).
  • Press Alt+T, F9 or Ctrl+Space to type an English word in the middle of Odia, then press it again to go back.
