Kannada
Kannada-Anjal keyboard allows you to type Kannada using English letters.The keys will generate Kannada based on the keymap provided in the table below. The keys approximate the sound of the Kannada letters.
Consonants, Conjuncts and Consonant Signs
The halant (್) is automatically appended to a consonant when it is typed. If the next key is an ‘a’, the halant will dissappear. Conjunts and consonant signs are formed when two consonants are typed without an ‘a’ in between.
Example:
Conjuncts and Consonant Signs
| Keystrokes | Output |
|---|---|
| kara | ಕರ |
| kra | ಕ್ರ |
| kala | ಕಲ |
| kla | ಕ್ಲ |
| tara | ತರ |
| tra | ತ್ರ |
Vowels and Vowel Signs
When a vowel key is typed after a consonant, the key generates a vowel
sign instead of a vowel. To explicitly type a vowel after a consonant type <delete> to delete the halant and then the consonant.
Example:
Vowels and Vowel Signs
| Keystrokes | Output |
|---|---|
| ki | ಕಿ |
k<delete>i | ಕಇ |
Two Keystroke Consonants
Some consonants, especially aspirated consonants require two keystrokes. If you need the second keystroke to explicitly generate the associated consonant, use the ‘a’ key in between.
Examples:
Two Keystroke Consonants
| Keystrokes | Output |
|---|---|
| kha | ಖ |
| kaha | ಕಹ |
| nga | ಙ |
| naga | ನಗ |
