Type Amharic (አማርኛ) online
This online Amharic keyboard helps you type Amharic in Ethiopic (Geʽez) script directly in your browser. It is useful for messages, study notes, and writing names correctly when you do not have an Amharic keyboard installed.
Amharic uses syllable characters like አ, ቤ, and ሰ. If you are used to Latin letters, finding these characters can be difficult. This page puts them on a layout so you can click and type more easily.
How typing works for Amharic here

Features available
- Ethiopic characters on the layout: Type Amharic letters directly without installing anything.
- Undo and redo: Step back if you choose the wrong character, then redo if needed.
- Copy, clear, and download: Copy your Amharic text, clear the box, or download a text file.
Using the on-screen Amharic keys
Clicking a key inserts that character at the cursor position. This is especially helpful on mobile and on shared computers where you cannot change input settings.
If you are typing a longer message, you can use your physical keyboard for speed and click only when you need a specific character. If you make a mistake, undo is often faster than deleting many characters.
