Meetei Mayek Font: Key
Associations
The keymap of the Meetei Mayek font has been chosen carefully
so as to make typing in the Meetei script easy and reasonably phonetic.
The table below lists the keyboard keys associated with different
Meetei characters. We have followed certain consistent rules
which should help in remembering the key associations.
- Lower case keys denote various basic sounds like ka, pa, ba, ta, ga
.
- Corresponding upper case keys denote the sounds with an additional "h"
in it, like kha, pha, bha, tha, gha.
- Wherever there is no sound with an additional "h", the
upper case key is used to denote the corresponding shorter sounds
(lonsum eeyek), like m, l.
If you do not see Meetei script in the first column of the table below,
it means you do not have the Meetei Mayek font installed.
If you see the Meetei script properly, print this page out for using
it as a reference table while typing in the Meetei script.
