How to Type in Malayalam Online

Our English to Malayalam typing tool converts your English keyboard input into Malayalam script (മലയാളം ലിപി) in real-time using transliteration. Type Malayalam words phonetically - for example, "namaskaram" becomes "നമസ്കാരം" and "nandi" becomes "നന്ദി". Malayalam has one of the largest scripts among Indian languages, with 53 letters and many compound characters. The script's distinctive curvilinear shapes are entirely unlike any other Indian script. The tool handles all compound consonants and vowel matras automatically. Malayalam is the official language of Kerala and Lakshadweep, and is widely used by the large Keralite community in Gulf countries.
