Type in Amharic

Simply type Amharic words using English letters as you pronounce them. Our phonetic tool converts your input into Amharic script automatically. For instance, when you type "selam", it becomes "ሰላም".

The conversion happens when you press the spacebar. If the suggested word isn't what you want, press backspace or click on the word to see other transliteration options.

Tip: Type naturally as you would speak Amharic — our system powered by Google Input Tools recognizes various romanization patterns.

Amharic Translation changes the meaning from one language to another. When you translate "Good morning" to Amharic, you get "እንደምን አደሩ" (endemn aderu) — a proper Amharic greeting.

Amharic Transliteration changes the writing system while keeping the same sounds. Type "amharic" and get "አማርኛ" — same pronunciation, Amharic script.
