About Sinhala typing with Likho
Typing Sinhala from English letters
Use this English to Sinhala typing page to write Sinhala from a standard English keyboard. Enter a word in Roman letters based on its sound, then review suggestions in Sinhala script. This can be convenient for a message or draft when Sinhala keyboard settings are not available on your device.
Sinhala has its own rounded letter forms and vowel signs, and Roman spellings are not always consistent. A greeting such as ayubowan may appear as ආයුබෝවන්. Longer words, names, and regional expressions can produce alternatives, so compare the options and read the final line in Sinhala script.
The editor can help with family messages, school notes, community writing, and early drafts. Choose each suggestion deliberately and review the sentence as a whole. If the writing is formal, check the spelling and tone for the audience; a suggested transliteration is not a substitute for language editing.
When the result is unexpected, type more of the word or include the next few words before deciding. The extra context helps distinguish similar sounds. Give proper names, place names, and words with long vowel sounds a careful check before copying or printing the text.
For a note that other people will read, check the final Sinhala text for familiar local wording and accurate names. Read the full sentence after typing, not just the Roman input. The page supports text entry and editing; your review makes sure the result says what you intended.
Choose the page's language and type a word with familiar English letters. Review suggestions with arrow keys or a pointer, select the form you want, and continue. This changes script; it does not translate a sentence.
The editor lets you format text, adjust size and alignment, and keep several documents in tabs. Copy a passage, or use print and download controls. Review spelling, names, and layout before sharing.
The tool runs in your browser without a language keyboard installation. Documents remain in the current tab session, not cloud storage. Themes and learned preferences may be saved locally. Voice typing depends on browser support.
Live suggestions need internet and send the current word and language to Google Input Tools. Suggestions do not guarantee correct spelling, grammar, or tone. Read the full text and verify important writing with a reliable source.
