Ah, you’re asking for a way to write Myanmar characters using English words (romanized Myanmar) on a QWERTY keyboard. This is commonly called romanization. For this, you can use Phonetic Transliteration. Below is how you can type Myanmar characters using English words.
Romanized Typing for Myanmar Characters
Here is a list of Myanmar letters and how you can type them using English phonetics:
English Input Myanmar Character Pronunciation ka က Ka kha ခ Kha ga ဂ Ga gha ဃ Gha nga င Nga sa စ Sa sha ဆ Sha za ဇ Za nya ဉ Nya ta တ Ta tha ထ Tha da ဒ Da dha ဓ Dha na န Na pa ပ Pa pha ဖ Pha ba ဗ Ba bha ဘ Bha ma မ Ma ya ယ Ya ra ရ Ra la လ La wa ဝ Wa sa သ Sa (soft) ha ဟ Ha a အ A
Example Words
If you type the English words below, you can convert them into Myanmar script using a tool that supports phonetic transliteration: 1. သက္က → thek-ka 2. စစ်ကိုင်း → sit-kouin 3. မင်္ဂလာပါ → mingala-ba 4. ကျောင်းသား → kyoung-tha 5. ပြည်သူ့ဝန်ထမ်း → pyi-thu-wun-htam
How to Use This for Typing
You can use tools or applications that support Myanmar phonetic input: 1. Google Input Tools: • Install Google Input Tools and select “Myanmar.” • Type using the phonetic spelling, and it will convert to Myanmar text. 2. Myanmar Keyboard with Phonetics: • Install apps like Myanmar Keyboard (available for Android and iOS) with phonetic input. 3. Keymagic Keyboard: • Customize your transliteration rules in Keymagic for desktop typing.
Custom Transliteration Logic
If you want to implement this transliteration yourself (e.g., in Python), you can create a mapping between English input and Myanmar characters.
Example Code:
transliteration_map = { "ka": "က", "kha": "ခ", "ga": "ဂ", "nga": "င", "sa": "စ", "sha": "ဆ", "za": "ဇ", "nya": "ဉ", "ta": "တ", "tha": "ထ", "da": "ဒ", "na": "န", "pa": "ပ", "pha": "ဖ", "ma": "မ", "ya": "ယ", "ra": "ရ", "la": "လ", "wa": "ဝ", "ha": "ဟ", "a": "အ" }
def transliterate(input_text): words = input_text.split("-") result = "".join([transliteration_map.get(word, word) for word in words]) return result
text = "ka-kha-ga-nga" converted_text = transliterate(text) print(converted_text) # Outputs: ကခဂင
