How do I use this Assamese keyboard?

Type Assamese words the way they sound, using Latin letters, and they are written in Assamese script as you type. For example oxom gives অসম, ghor gives ঘৰ and kitap gives কিতাপ. You can also click or tap the letters on the on-screen keyboard.

How do I type vowels?

o is the vowel every letter already has, so ghor gives ঘৰ, and a gives া. After a consonant, i → ি, I → ী, u → ু, U → ূ, e → ে, O → ো, OI → ৈ, OU → ৌ. At the start of a word or after another vowel you get the full letter: ai → আই.

How do I type ৰ, ৱ and other special letters?

r gives ৰ, w gives ৱ and x gives স, the letter for the Assamese x sound. Capitals give T → ট, D → ড, N → ণ, S → ষ, R → ড়. Use ng for ং, ~ for ঁ, t` for ৎ and | for ।. Consonants typed together are joined, as in xondhiya → সন্ধিয়া.
