How to type Malayalam

Press Shift or either Ctrl + Alt or AltGr or ∎ or ∎+Shift for additional Malayalam letters that are not visible on the keyboard.

To type നി press ന and ി and to type നെ press ന and െ. Virama is used to type half letters. For example, to type ന്മ press ന ് and മ.

The zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ) is used if two characters are not intended to be connected. ZWNJ is invisible and it is located on [shift][v] key. For example, typing ന ് ZWNJ മ yields ന്‌മ instead of ന്മ.

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is used to display half letters stand-alone. ZWJ is invisible and located on [shift][x] key. For example, typing ന ് ZWJ yields ന്‍.

Transliteration

Some of the mappings for the transliteration are A(അ), AA(ആ), AI(ഐ), AU(ഔ), ,R(ഋ), ,RR(ൠ), ,L(ഌ), k(ക്), ka(ക), kaa(കാ), ke(കെ), k,r(കൃ), kha(ഖ), nga(ങ), cha(ഛ) tta(ട), ttha(ഠ), dda(ഡ), ddha(ഢ), nya(ഞ), tha(ഥ), dha(ധ), pha(ഫ), bha(ഭ), nna(ണ), La(ഴ), lla(ള), Ra(റ), Ta(ഺ), Na(ഩ), sha(ശ), ssa(ഷ), pamm(പം), pahh(പഃ), '(்), :(ZWNJ), ;'('), `1(൧), ``(൰), `-(൱), `=(൲), 1/4(൳), "(ഽ), |(।), ||(॥) and DT(൹). Chillus can be entered by adding single quot(') to the base letter. For example, na' will produce ൻ.

Semicolon(;) can be used as a partition so that what is one the left and what is on the right are transliterated separately. For example, s;s will produce സ്സ് instead of ഷ്.
