Vowels

How Punjabi letters are built

Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi. 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.

The vowel sign ਿ is drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Punjabi, ਰ, ਹ and ਵ after another consonant are drawn small below it (ਪ੍ਰੀਤ). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as AnmolLipi stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

How to use the Punjabi 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 Remington to type Punjabi 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.
  • Punjabi Remington is the old typewriter layout, the same keys as the Asees font. Sihari (ਿ) is typed before its letter, as it is drawn.
  • On a phone, the phone's own keyboard stays hidden so the keys have room. Tick Use phone keyboard too to bring it back.
