- Keyboard Details. Malar Malayalam Inscript Keyboard is a customized version of the Malayalam Inscript keyboard. This keyboard supports all Malayalam characters encoded up to the Unicode Standard-Version 12.1. Malayalam Unicode fonts under the SIL Open Font License are available at https://smc.org.in/fonts/.
Phonetic keyboards in Indian languages are available in 10 Indian languages including Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. The Indic Phonetic keyboards are in addition to the Indic Traditional INSCRIPT keyboards already available with Windows.
The settings for it is available under Region & Language. Devanagari Keyboard will provide users with English to Marathi or Devanagari transliteration application. Now type anywhere and see the magic at work. The InScript layout is built into most of the major operating systems including Windows (2000 and later), and most Linux and Mac OS systems.
The phonetic keyboards are available starting from Windows 10 May 2019 Update, and Indian language users won’t need to download and install any external Input Method Editors (IMEs) to input Indic text in a phonetic style.
The transliteration rules used in the keyboards are based on ISO 15919. Different with Indic INSCRIPT Keyboards, Indic Phonetic Keyboards are based on natural pronunciation and users can use it immediately without any learning cost. As words are typed using the existing keyboard, Indic Phonetic keyboards transliterate them to suggest possible Indic text options. For instance, if we type “namaste” using the Phonetic keyboard, it will automatically suggest नमस्ते /ਨਮਸਤੇ/ નમસ્તે in Hindi/Punjabi/Gujarati.

Go to Time & Language in Settings and select the language from the navigation menu.
Click on the + icon labelled and add the preferred Indic language (by selecting into the search box and select it – for example “Hindi” and click on the next button and install the Indic language on the device, which will then return to the Language page).
