How to Type in Amharic Using Our Free On-Screen Keyboard
Welcome! Our free online Amharic keyboard is designed for simplicity and ease of use. Let’s walk through how to type in Amharic with this intuitive tool in just a few simple steps:
Typing Amharic Consonants and Vowel Families
When you first access the keyboard, you’ll see the primary **Amharic consonant letters** displayed. Here’s how to navigate them:
- To type a base consonant letter: Simply press the desired consonant key. It will appear directly in your typing area.
- To access the full vowel family of a consonant: After pressing a consonant key, its entire family (the six variations with different vowels) will appear prominently at the top of the keyboard. You can then easily select the specific vowel form you wish to type.
Typing Repeated or Mixed Family Letters
Sometimes you need to type the initial consonant and then another letter from the *same* family. Our keyboard makes this quick and easy:
- If you want to type the first consonant letter and then immediately type a different variation from the same letter’s family, simply **tap that specific consonant key twice**. On the second tap, you’ll see the full family display, allowing you to choose the exact letter you need.
Accessing Special Amharic Characters and Numbers (Shift Key)
To keep the main keyboard clean and efficient, less frequently used Amharic letters and Arabic numerals are placed under the ‘Shift’ key:
- If you’d like to type special Amharic letters like **ስ, ዕ, ጽ, ፅ, ዥ, ፕ, ጵ, or ኅ**, or if you need to input **Arabic numbers**, simply **press the ‘Shift’ key**. These characters will then become visible and accessible on the keyboard.
- *Why are they here?* These letters are not used as frequently in everyday Amharic writing, so placing them under the ‘Shift’ key helps us save valuable space on the main keyboard interface.
