What is English to Nepali typing?
English to Nepali typing lets you write Nepali script with an ordinary English keyboard. Instead of learning a special Nepali keyboard layout, you spell each word with Latin letters and the converter rewrites it in Nepali script. The result is standard Nepali Unicode, so it displays correctly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail, MS Word and every modern phone.
This Nepali typing page converts on your own device, so letters appear with no delay even on a slow mobile connection. Extra spelling suggestions load underneath the box whenever you are online.
How to use English to Nepali typing online
- Click the first box and type a Nepali word in English letters, e.g. tapai lai kasto chha.
- Watch the Nepali box fill in: तपाईं लाई कस्तो छ.
- Press space to keep the highlighted word, or tap a different suggestion.
- When finished, press Copy, save the text, or send it straight to WhatsApp or Telegram.
You can also edit the Nepali box directly to fix a letter by hand. Want the meaning in English instead of the script? Use our English translation tools.
