When naïve transliterators and virtual keyboard meet.
Main notes: use j
for Й
, ja
for Я
etc., y
for Ы
, and the apostrophe or q
for the soft sign, w
for the hard sign. Underscore works as digraph separator: t_s = тс, ts = ц
. Key: Show/Hide
Result:
Use lowercase for hiragana, uppercase for katakana. Use an apostrophe after n/N
to force ん/ン instead of an n-row kana. Use a tilde ~
for the katakana vowel lengthener ー. Use an underscore to mark the small vowel kana. This also accepts Nihon-shiki romanization (si for し, tu for つ, etc.); it is in fact preferred, and you can use it to differentiate between the two ji kana (zi for じ and di for ぢ); ji defaults to じ. The same goes for づ (du) and ず (zu). Western punctuation .,“”·()
is replaced with Japanese punctuation 。、「」・(); you can also use the vertical bar |
for the Japanese middle dot ・.

A specific subset of the Arabic chat alphabet. Use an underscore if necessary to split up digraphs. Key: Show/Hide
