Hamro Nepali Keyboard is a free utilities and tools app for familiarizing oneself with the Devanagari script. Ideal for language learners and travelers, it is the perfect tool for communicating with your Nepalese colleagues and friends while learning the basics of the Nepali language. You’ll also have access to emojis and stickers for expressing your feelings without having to type text. 

The keyboard background can be customized to your liking, too. However, Hamro Nepali Keyboard is missing a few key features, such as a clipboard function for storing copied text and voice typing for faster message composition. 

Learn the Devanagari script

If you’re traveling to Nepal to nurture your wanderlust or work in said country, you can’t go wrong with installing a Hamro Nepali Keyboard on your device. As it functions as an educational app, it provides a chart of the transliteration of each Devanagari script—which is the writing system of the Nepali language. This chart benefits users who are learning the ropes of the language.

With this tool, you can type a Roman letter and the app will transliterate it into the appropriate Devanagari character. Conversely, you can make use of the app’s Romanized layout so you know which English character corresponds to a Devanagari letter. However—if you want to up your language-learning game—you can choose the Nepali layout to test your familiarity with Nepal's writing system.

Additionally, it also offers a wide variety of keyboard wallpapers—from Holi- to Shiva-inspired themes. You can create your own, too. You just need to select an image from your device or change the color of the keys and background, adjust the opacity, enable or disable the key border, and you’re all set. The auto-correct english words function is a nice touch as well for avoiding embarrassing typos.

Missing features

Overall, Hamro Nepali Keyboard is a wonderful tool for users looking to master the Nepali language and communicate with their Nepalese peers. With various keyboard layouts to choose from, texting and learning the Devanagari script is now made easier than ever before. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t offer voice typing or a clipboard function—which are a few of the most essential features of any keyboard app.
