Thanglish to Tamil FAQs
Short answers to the questions people ask most, from first-time typing to voice, files and privacy.
Tanglish to Tamil means turning Tamil written in English letters into proper Tamil script. Type vanakkam and you get வணக்கம். It is how crores of Tamil speakers already write in chats and comments, converted into readable Tamil.
There is no difference in meaning. TANG (Tanglish) and THA (Thanglish) are just two spellings of the same habit of writing Tamil in English letters. Thanglish is the more searched spelling, so this page uses it in titles, while Tanglish is covered as its equal variant throughout.
Type a word the way it sounds in the box above, press Space, and it converts on the spot. Press Enter for the same result at a line end. Then copy the text or share it straight to WhatsApp.
No. This page itself is the keyboard. It runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and any mobile browser, with nothing to download, even on phones with no Tamil layout installed.
Type zh for ழ, as in thamizh which gives தமிழ். Use capitals for the rest: L for ள (paLLi gives பள்ளி), R for ற (maRam gives மறம்), and N for ண (aNNan gives அண்ணன்). The full chart sits inside the tool.

Tamil99 and Bamini force you to memorise which English key holds which Tamil letter. Phonetic typing just asks for the sound: type kathai and get கதை. The output here is always standard Unicode Tamil, never a legacy font, so it pastes cleanly into Word and every app.
No. Google Translate rewrites meaning between languages. This converter keeps your exact words and only changes the script from English letters to Tamil letters, so romba nandri faithfully becomes ரொம்ப நன்றி instead of a rephrased sentence.
