Gujarati Typing - A Guide to Complex Conjunct Characters Part 2: Typing Consonant-Vowel Combinations

Typing in Gujarati is different from English because vowels are not typed separately after consonants. Instead, they are combined with consonants to form new syllables.

How to Type Consonant-Vowel Combinations

Instead of typing individual letters, you modify consonants with vowel symbols. Here are some common examples:

1. Simple Combinations:

   • "ક" + "ા" = "કા" (kaa) → Type "k" + "a"
   • "ત" + "િ" = "તિ" (ti) → Type "t" + "i"
   • "ર" + "ુ" = "રુ" (ru) → Type "r" + "u"

2. More Complex Combinations:

   • "ગ" + "ે" = "ગે" (ge) → Type "g" + "e"
   • "પ" + "ો" = "પો" (po) → Type "p" + "o"
   • "દ" + "ે" = "દે" (dee) → Type "d" + "E"

Why This Matters?

If you understand how to modify consonants with vowels, you can quickly type words without searching for individual letters. Memorizing these keystrokes will improve your Gujarati typing efficiency.
