Tamil is one of the world's oldest living languages, official in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. Its script has no aspirated consonants, so phonetic typing maps several English sounds to one Tamil letter — for loanwords, Grantha letters like ஜ and ஷ are used.
Frequently asked questions
How can I type in Tamil without installing anything?
Type Tamil phonetically with English letters and it converts to Tamil script instantly, right in your browser — no software or fonts needed.
Is it free? Do I need to sign up?
Completely free, no account needed. Your text is processed in your browser and autosaved locally — nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Can I use the Tamil text in WhatsApp, Gmail, or Word?
Yes. The output is standard Unicode Tamil, which works everywhere — WhatsApp, social media, Gmail, MS Word, Google Docs, and official documents.
Why do k, g, kh all give the same Tamil letter?
Tamil script writes க for the whole k/g sound family — the pronunciation depends on position in the word. This is normal Tamil orthography, not a limitation of the tool.
