Amharic Keyboard

Amharic Keyboard lets you write Amharic with the complete Fidel
syllabary, switch to English with one tap, and style your keyboard with 198 themes.

VOWEL ORDERS ON SCREEN
Tap a consonant and its seven vowel orders appear above the keys. A second tap picks the vowel you want, so a full syllable takes two taps instead of a long press and a hunt through a popup. All 34 Amharic consonants sit on the main page in fidel order, the way the alphabet is taught. The second page holds the labialized forms, Ethiopic numerals and Ethiopic punctuation. You can still long-press any consonant to get its orders in a popup if you
prefer.

AMHARIC AND ENGLISH
Both layouts in one keyboard. Tap the language key to move between Amharic and English QWERTY for names, links, email addresses and mixed-script messages. Amharic is always available; English is optional and can be switched off.

198 KEYBOARD THEMES
A collection spanning 22 categories: neon, minimal, gaming, nature, luxury, glass, material finishes and more. Twelve are Ethiopian themes made for this app - Bandira (Flag), Buna (Coffee), Lalibela, Simien, Meskel, Timkat, Enkutatash (New Year), Habesha Libs, Abay (Blue Nile), Axum, Tikur Anbessa (Black Lion) and Teff. You can also build your own: choose colours, key shapes, key fonts and text size, or set a photo from your gallery as the keyboard background.
