Tanglish is a blend of Tamil and English . It refers to Tamil words and sentences written in the Roman (English) alphabet , commonly used in text messages and social media among Tamil speakers.

How do I type in Tanglish?

Simply type Tamil words phonetically using English letters . For example, typing "Naan unna kaadhalikkiren" will be converted to "நான் உன்னை காதலிக்கிறேன்" in Tamil script automatically.

Is Tanglish the same as Tamil transliteration?

Tanglish and Tamil transliteration both involve writing Tamil using English letters. The key difference is that Tanglish is an informal, everyday usage while transliteration is a more systematic phonetic conversion. This tool supports both use cases.

Can I copy and paste the Tanglish output?

Yes. The converted Tamil text is in Unicode format , which means you can copy and paste it into Facebook, WhatsApp, Word documents, or any other application without needing any special font installed.

Does this tool work on mobile devices?

Yes, the Tanglish typing tool works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. Simply open it in your mobile browser and start typing. You can also use voice input to type in Tamil phonetically.

Can I use this tool without knowing the Tamil script?

Absolutely. This tool is built so that you can type in Tanglish using English letters and get proper Tamil script output automatically. No knowledge of Tamil script is required to use it.

Can I email my Tanglish text to someone?

Yes. Click the Email in Tanglish button on the toolbar to send your typed Tamil text as an email directly from within the tool, without needing to open a separate email client.

Is Tanglish widely used in Tamil Nadu and among Tamil speakers?

Yes. Tanglish is the dominant form of digital communication among Tamil speakers in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, and the global Tamil diaspora. It is used extensively in WhatsApp groups, YouTube comments, Twitter (X), and other social media platforms.

Is there a mobile app for Tanglish typing?

Yes. EasyHindiTyping is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed on your Android or iOS device from your browser. It works offline and provides the full Tanglish typing experience on mobile.

What is the difference between Tanglish and formal Tamil transliteration?

Formal Tamil transliteration systems like ISO 15919 use strict phonetic rules with special diacritical marks to represent Tamil sounds precisely. Tanglish is informal and phonetic — people spell words the way they sound to them, without diacritics or fixed rules. This tool supports natural Tanglish input.

Does the tool automatically save my typed text?

Yes. Your text is automatically saved in your browser each time you press the spacebar. It persists for up to one week, so you can return to your text even after closing the browser tab.

Can I share my Tanglish text on WhatsApp or social media?

Yes. Use the Share button on the toolbar to share your typed Tamil text directly to WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, and more. Since the output is standard Unicode, it displays correctly on all platforms without any special font.

Can I type numbers and punctuation in Tanglish mode?

Yes. Numbers, punctuation, and special characters work normally in Tanglish mode. Only alphabetic text gets converted to Tamil script. You can freely mix numerals, exclamation marks, question marks, and other symbols in your text.

Is Tamil one of the oldest languages in the world?

Yes. Tamil is one of the world's oldest living classical languages , with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years. It is a scheduled language of India, an official language of Sri Lanka and Singapore, and has a rich tradition of poetry, grammar, and literature. Tanglish lets modern Tamil speakers communicate in this ancient language using familiar English letters.
