Hindi to Marathi Translation and Typing Guide

India is a multilingual country, where hundreds of languages and dialects are spoken. Among these, Hindi and Marathi are two of the most important and widely used languages. There is a deep historical and linguistic connection between Marathi, the official language of Maharashtra, and Hindi, the most popular language of the country.

If you are a Hindi speaker or know how to write in Hindi, but you need to type and translate in Marathi for professional work, blogging, social media, or personal needs, then this article is a guide for you.

It is often observed that people find it very difficult to learn the Marathi keyboard layout (like InScript or Remington), as remembering their keys and combinations takes a lot of time. But with the development of modern web technology, you no longer need to learn the traditional complex keyboards to type Marathi.

By using the special in-built tools available on our website TypeHindi.in, you can very smoothly translate and type purely and accurately in Marathi using just Hindi or English input. Let's find out how to accomplish this process step-by-step.

The Devanagari Link Between Hindi and Marathi Languages

First of all, it is essential to know that both Hindi and Marathi languages are written in the Devanagari script. This means that most of the characters (vowels and consonants) of both languages look alike. For example, 'क', 'ख', 'ग', 'अ', 'आ' are common characters in both languages.

However, there are also some differences in the phonetic structure and alphabet of both languages:

  • Special character 'ळ': In Marathi, there is an extremely important character 'ळ' (Lla), which is not available in the Hindi alphabet. This character is used in Marathi words like 'टिळक' (Tilak), 'काळ' (Time), 'डोळा' (Eye).
  • Difference in vowel pronunciation: The use of vowels and their pronunciation in Marathi is somewhat different in some words compared to Hindi.
  • Grammar and sentence structure: Although both languages are written in Devanagari, their rules of grammar, verb forms, and auxiliary verbs are completely different.
  • Since both languages share the Devanagari script, translating and transliterating between them is much easier and accurate as compared to other languages (like Hindi to Tamil or Telugu).

    Translation vs Transliteration

    Before starting Marathi typing, we need to understand the difference between these two important processes:

  • Translation: This means changing the words of one language into another while preserving their meaning. For example, the Marathi translation of the Hindi sentence *"आपका नाम क्या है?"* (What is your name?) would be *"तुमचे नाव काय आहे?"*.
  • Transliteration: This means changing the characters of one script into characters of another script having a similar sound. Like, if you type "Tumche naav kay aahe" on an English keyboard, it will automatically get converted to *"तुमचे नाव काय आहे"* in the Marathi script. We also call this 'Phonetic Typing'.
  • At TypeHindi.in, we have combined both techniques to develop an extremely powerful and easy system.

    Why is TypeHindi Better than Traditional Keyboards?

    Traditionally, there were two main methods available for typing Marathi:

  • InScript Keyboard: This is the standard keyboard of the Government of India. Although it is extremely scientific, it requires a dedicated time of at least 2 to 3 weeks to learn.
  • Remington (Krutidev) Keyboard: This is the old typewriter layout. Text typed in it is not Unicode, due to which it changes into strange symbols on the internet (To understand more on this topic, read our detailed Unicode to Hindi (Krutidev) Converter Guide).
  • Benefits of TypeHindi Converter:

  • No Training: If you know how to type messages on mobile, you can use it immediately.
  • Unicode Based: Text typed using our tool is completely Unicode. You can easily copy it and paste it directly into MS Word, Gmail, Facebook, WhatsApp, or any government form.
  • Strong Muscle Memory: When you use our phonetic keyboard daily, your fingers naturally memorize the exact position of the keys. To understand the importance of muscle memory in detail, read our article Muscle Memory: The Scientific Way to Learn Fast Typing.
