Type Nepali Online with an English Keyboard
This free English to Nepali typing tool lets you write Nepali using a normal English (QWERTY) keyboard. You type each word the way it sounds — in Roman letters — and the moment you press the Spacebar, the tool converts it into proper Nepali (Devanagari) script in real time. There is nothing to download, no Preeti font or typing software to install, and no Nepali keyboard needed on your computer or mobile phone.
Nepali is the official language of Nepal, spoken by more than 32 million people in Nepal, India (Sikkim, Darjeeling), Bhutan, and by large communities in the Gulf, Malaysia, the UK, and the US. Yet typing Nepali has traditionally required learning the Traditional or Romanized Nepali keyboard layout. With English to Nepali transliteration you skip all of that — if you can spell namaste, dhanyabad, or mero naam in English letters, you can type नमस्ते, धन्यवाद, and मेरो नाम instantly.
Transliteration vs Translation: What This Tool Does
It is important to understand the difference between English to Nepali transliteration and English to Nepali translation:
- Transliteration (this tool): converts the sound of your typing into Nepali script. Typing mero naam gives मेरो नाम — the same Nepali words, written in Devanagari script.
- Translation: converts the meaning from English into Nepali. Translating "my name" gives मेरो नाम because the meaning is converted, not the sound.
If you already speak Nepali and just need to type it — for messages, posts, assignments, or documents — transliteration is far faster and more accurate than any translator, because you stay in control of every word.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I type Nepali with an English keyboard?
Type any Nepali word phonetically in English letters (for example, dhanyabad) and press the Spacebar or a comma. The word instantly converts into Nepali script. Keep typing word by word and your whole text appears in Nepali.
2. Is this English to Nepali typing tool free?
Yes, completely free — no registration, no installation, and no limits on how much English text you convert to Nepali online.
3. What if the Nepali word is wrong?
Press Backspace immediately after the converted word. A dropdown appears with alternative Nepali spellings and the original English word. Pick the right one with a click or arrow keys, or press Backspace again to revert the word to English.
4. Do I need the Preeti font?
