Marathi Transliteration is the process of converting English characters into Marathi characters based on phonetics (sound). When you type, our background engine analyzes the sequence of characters and matches it with the Marathi Devanagari script database.
For example, to write "Maharashtra", you don't need to know which key represents 'म'. You just type "Maharashtra" and the tool converts it to "महाराष्ट्र".

| Swatantra | स्वतंत्र | Conjunct (Jodakshar) | 's' + 'w' becomes 'स्व' and 't' + 'r' becomes 'त्र'. |

Marathi Typing Cheat Sheet: Keyboard Map
Marathi uses the Devanagari script (same as Hindi), but with some unique nuances (like the 'ळ' character). Here is a quick map to help you get started.
Vowels (Swar - स्वर)
Consonants (Vyanjan - व्यंजन)
Comprehensive Marathi Grammar (Vyakaran) Basics
Marathi grammar (Vyakaran) shares roots with Sanskrit but has evolved uniquely over centuries.
1. The Barakhadi (The 12 Vowel Signs)
Understanding Barakhadi is key to typing. It is the combination of a consonant with all vowels.
- Ka (क): k
- Kaa (का): kaa
- Ki (कि): ki
- Kee (की): kee
- Ku (कु): ku
- Koo (कू): koo
- Ke (के): ke
- Kai (कै): kai
- Ko (को): ko
- Kau (कौ): kau
- Kam (कं): kam
- Kaha (कः): kaha
2. The Special 'L' (ळ)
One distinct feature of Marathi (compared to Hindi) is the frequent use of the retroflex lateral approximant 'ळ' (Lla). It is used in words like "Kala" (Black - काळा) vs "Kala" (Art - कला). In our tool, you can often type 'l' or 'ld' to get this character depending on context.
3. Gender (Ling)
Marathi has three genders, unlike Hindi's two. It has Masculine (Pulling), Feminine (Striling), and Neuter (Napusakling). E.g., Mulga (Boy - M), Mulgi (Girl - F), Mul (Child - N).
A Brief History of the Marathi Language
Marathi is one of the oldest Indo-Aryan languages, dating back to around 900 AD. It evolved from Maharashtri Prakrit. Great saints like Sant Dnyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram played a pivotal role in shaping the language through their literature (Dnyaneshwari, Gatha).
Historically, Marathi was also written in the Modi script (a cursive shorthand) for administrative purposes until the mid-20th century. However, today, the standard script is Devanagari (Balbodh style), which is what this tool outputs.
Why is Unicode Important?
Legacy fonts like Shree Lipi or Kruti Dev are non-standard. Text typed in them becomes unreadable if the font isn't installed. TranslateInHindi.com generates Unicode text. This guarantees that your Marathi text will be readable on:
- Smartphones (Android & iOS).
- Web Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- Social Platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter).
- Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
Advanced Tips for Power Users
1. The Anusvara (Dot on top)
To type the Anusvara (Am ki matra), simply type 'n' or 'm' depending on the sound. For example, "Mumbai" -> "मुंबई".
2. Punctuation
Modern Marathi uses standard English punctuation (., ?, !). In older texts, a double vertical bar (||) was used, but the full stop (.) is now the standard for digital typing.
