How do I use this Armenian keyboard?
Type on your normal keyboard and each key types the Armenian letter shown for it on screen: for example, haje8en gives հայերեն. Hold Shift for capital letters. You can also click or tap the keys on the on-screen keyboard.
Which keys give which letters?
Most letters are on the key that sounds like them in Eastern Armenian, such as A ա, B բ and S ս, so if you speak Western Armenian, some will be on a different key from the one you expect. The others are on the number row and nearby keys:
- 1 = է
- 2 = թ
- 3 = փ
- 4 = ձ
- 5 = ջ
- 7 = և
- 8 = ր
- 9 = չ
- 0 = ճ
- = = ժ
- [ = խ
- ] = ծ
- \ = շ
- R = ռ
- J = յ
- Y = ը
- X = ղ
- C = ց
How do I type ու and Armenian punctuation?
Type ու as W then U. The ; key types the verjaket ։ (full stop). The bottom row of the on-screen keyboard has these marks:
- but ՝ (a short pause, like a comma)
- batsakanchakan ՜ (exclamation)
- shesht ՛ (emphasis)
- hartsakan ՞ (question)
- quotation marks « »
