Easy Tigrinya Typing

How Tigrinya Typing Works
This is a transliteration keyboard: you type the sound of a Tigrinya word in English letters, and it converts that into the correct ትግርኛ spelling. It is the fastest way to write Tigrinya when your device only has an English keyboard.
Type Tigrinya phonetically
In the left box, type Tigrinya words the way they sound using the English (Latin) alphabet. For example, spell out a word phonetically and the tool figures out the Tigrinya spelling.
See ትግርኛ instantly
As you type, each word is transliterated live into ትግርኛ script on the right. There is no button to press and no keyboard layout to learn.
Copy and use anywhere
Click Copy to put the Tigrinya text on your clipboard, then paste it into WhatsApp, Word, Gmail, Instagram, or any app that accepts ትግርኛ text.
Pick up where you left off
Your input is auto-saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and continue typing Tigrinya later without losing your work.
Why Type Tigrinya This Way?
No keyboard to install
You do not need to install a Tigrinya keyboard or switch your phone's language settings. If you can type English, you can type Tigrinya.
Great for the diaspora
Tigrinya speakers living abroad often have only an English keyboard. Phonetic typing lets them write ትግርኛ to family and friends effortlessly.
Faster than hunting for letters
Instead of searching a virtual Tigrinya keyboard for each character, you type naturally in English and get accurate ትግርኛ output.
Works on any device
The Tigrinya transliteration tool runs in your browser on phones, tablets, and computers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
