Default Shruti Gujarati Keyboard Layout A default Gujarati keyboard layout, simply called Gujarati, is included in Windows. This layout seems to be have been created by the Depart of Engineering (DOE) of India. This keyboard is great if the keyboard keys are labeled with Gujarati characters instead of English. You have to learn the layout if you want to use this layout. However, if you use an English keyboard, then you may want to use my instead. These keyboard layouts work with any Unicode fonts.

The synthesis of the keyboard layout and Unicode fonts makes typing in Gujarati far more easier than with other types of fonts. The challenge one faces typing in Gujarati is the variety of conjuncts that can be formed with 'half' consonants and 'full' consonants. There are too many characters to be mapped on a standard keyboard. Hence, the non-Unicode fonts make use of extended character code pages to map these extra characters. The dilemma is having to use character codes to type in these characters, making typing Gujarati a very slow process.

Default Gujarati Keyboard Layout Key Maps The solution to this is the Gujarati keyboard layout used for Unicode Gujarati fonts. Images 1 and 2 below show the default Gujarati keyboard layout included with Windows. This layout is for any Unicode font, not just Shruti font which comes preinstalled with Windows. I will explain how this keyboard layout makes typing Gujarati easy.

It's an 'intelligent' system that processes your input as you type and makes the appropriate substitution.

However, with a Unicode font, one would type. ન િ શ ્ ચ ય = નિશ્ચય When typing this combination, the font itself looks up the combination of શ and ચ to make the substitution automatically. All these keys are mapped on a regular keyboard. The ્ symbol is called the virama. It enables us to combine the sha and cha to make the shcha.

The method work for all conjuncts. One only needs to know which consonants form the conjunct.

Table 1 shows the common conjuncts and their component consonants. Novel Midnight Sun Bahasa Indonesia Chapter 13-24. Table 1: Common Conjuncts and their Components Components Conjunct English Components Conjunct English ત + ર ત્ર tra દ + ર દ્ર dra દ + દ દ્દ dda દ + વ દ્વ dva દ + ધ દ્ધ ddha દ + ય દ્ય dya શ + વ શ્વ shva શ + ર શ્ર shra શ + ન શ્ન shna સ + ત + ર સ્ત્ર stra શ + ચ શ્ચ shcha દ + મ દ્મ dma The order of entry depends on the pronunciation. The one that is pronounced first will be typed first. In most cases, it's apparent which one is pronounced first.

Conjuncts with ર The ર, although a special case because it's half form is a punctuation-like character, also follows the same rule. When half of ર is the first consonant, it is call a reph and looks like a swoosh: અર્પણ, સમર્થ. When ર is the second consonant, it's a slant: બ્રહ્માંડ, ક્રિયા. Whether ર precedes or follows other consonants, the correct form is substituted automatically when the virama is used in between. For complex conjuncts, we follow the same rule. ઈર્ષ્યા requires two viramas.
