Marathi shares Devanagari with Hindi, but it needs letters and sounds that a plain Hindi tool can miss.
Type the Marathi sounds in English here and get Devanagari that includes the Marathi letter La, ready to copy.
How to use English to Marathi Transliteration
- Type Marathi phonetically in the left panel, for example namaskaar.
- Use capital L for the Marathi letter La, and capitals T and D for retroflex sounds.
- Copy the Unicode Devanagari from the right panel.
Use cases
- Write Marathi social posts and messages from an English keyboard.
- Type Marathi names and official local text into forms.
- Draft Marathi notes that mix everyday and formal words.
Good to know
Marathi uses Devanagari like Hindi but adds the letter La and some distinct pronunciations. Capital L gives that letter, and the result is Unicode Devanagari that works without a Marathi font.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type the Marathi letter La?
Use a capital L. Lowercase l gives the ordinary la, while capital L gives the Marathi retroflex La.
Is the output different from Hindi typing?
The script is the same Devanagari, but this page maps Marathi-specific sounds such as La so they are not lost.
Why is transliteration only approximate?
It matches sounds rather than meaning, so review names and uncommon spellings after converting.
