What is the Amharic Keyboard?
AZRS's online Amharic keyboard lets you type Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script in any browser. Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia — one of the world's oldest languages with a unique writing system. No software installs required. The page keeps standard left-to-right text direction throughout.
Amharic uses the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script, an abugida writing system where each character represents a consonant-vowel combination. The script has over 200 base characters derived from the ancient Ge'ez liturgical language. The Ethiopic script is not available on standard Western keyboards. Our online Amharic keyboard provides instant access to the full character set without any system changes.
