How to Type in Punjabi Using an English Keyboard

Don't have a Punjabi keyboard? No problem. Our transliteration tool lets you type Punjabi words using your regular English keyboard. Just type the word as it sounds in English, and it automatically converts to Gurmukhi script.

For example, typing "sat sri akal" gives you "ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ" (greetings) in native script. Gurmukhi literally means "from the mouth of the Guru" and was standardized by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Sikh Guru, in the 16th century. The tool shows multiple suggestions so you can pick the exact word you want, powered by Google Input Tools for high accuracy.

This is perfect for writing Punjabi messages, social media posts, emails, or documents when you don't have a Punjabi keyboard installed. Used by 113 million+ across Punjab (India & Pakistan), Punjabi typing works on any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile.

Punjabi Transliteration Tips

Type Phonetically

Type the Punjabi word exactly as it sounds in English — like "sat sri akal" for ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ. The tool will suggest the best Gurmukhi matches.

Use Suggestions

When multiple Punjabi words match your input, pick the right one from the dropdown. This ensures accuracy in Gurmukhi script.

Space to Confirm

Press space after selecting a word to confirm it and move to the next word. This speeds up your Punjabi typing.

Mix Languages

You can freely mix English and Punjabi text. The transliteration only converts the parts you want.

Writing Challenges

Punjabi is a tonal language — the same consonant with different tones can change a word's meaning. This makes accurate spelling and grammar checking essential.

Did You Know?

Punjabi is the most widely spoken language in Pakistan and the 10th most spoken language in the world. It is also the third most spoken language in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Punjabi transliteration?
Transliteration converts text from one script to another. Our tool lets you type Punjabi words using English letters, and it converts them to Gurmukhi script automatically — for example, "sat sri akal" becomes "ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ".
Is Punjabi transliteration free?
Yes! GoTranslate's Punjabi transliteration is completely free to use. Powered by Google Input Tools.
How is transliteration different from translation?
Translation changes the meaning from one language to another. Transliteration keeps the same word but changes the script — e.g., writing a Punjabi word in Gurmukhi script instead of English letters.
Can I use this for typing Punjabi on my computer?
Yes! If you don't have a Punjabi keyboard, our transliteration tool lets you type Punjabi using your regular English keyboard. Just type the word as it sounds (like "sat sri akal") and select the correct Punjabi script version.
