We use the apostrophe here to type gebr'iel to make sure we get ርኤ instead of ሬ. Some words are spelt with a ሳድስ (6 th) letter followed by a vowel, like ርኤ in ገብርኤል. Next, when you need to type the extra letters of Amharic like ሏ, ሟ, ኴ you can do so by typing an extra vowel after a u:įinally, we must introduce a special rule for ' (apostrophe). If typing the capital does not work, then try hitting the key two times: When the letter you want to type does not appear when you hit the similar sounding key in English, try using the capital next. Notice that we used capital N also for ኝ and we needed both ie together to make the 5th ጠ letter, ጤ. In this case you should type T, for capital T:Įxample: typing TienaysTlN produces ጤናይስጥልኝ For example, English does not have ጠ and the closest similar letter would be t. You can think of how a word sounds inĪmharic and then type it out with English.īecause Amharic has more sounds than English, we sometimes have to adjust this The Amharic keyboard uses an intuitive phonetic system where the Amharic sounds are matched to the nearest English letters.
