Free Online Khmer Keyboard – Type Cambodian Anywhere in the World

Welcome to the most comprehensive Khmer keyboard online! Our free virtual NiDA keyboard gives you instant access to all Khmer (Cambodian) letters, including the complex subscript consonants (coeng), allowing you to type perfect Khmer from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Why do 16+ million people need an online Khmer keyboard? Khmer is the official language of Cambodia, spoken by 16 million native speakers. The Cambodian diaspora is significant in the USA (especially California), France, Australia, and Canada – a result of the refugee waves following the Khmer Rouge era. Most computers outside Cambodia don't have Khmer keyboards installed. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for Cambodian expats, students, and anyone connecting with Cambodia.

The Khmer script is one of the most complex writing systems in the world, with the Guinness World Records recognizing it as having the largest alphabet (74 letters)! It has 33 consonants, 23 vowels, and various diacritical marks. Khmer features unique subscript consonants (coeng) where consonants stack vertically. Our keyboard uses the official NiDA layout (National Information Communications Technology Development Authority), the Cambodian government standard.

Perfect for every Khmer typing need: Write emails to family in Cambodia, compose business documents, chat with Cambodian friends, study Khmer language, read Cambodian news, or simply connect with Khmer culture. Cambodia is home to the magnificent Angkor Wat and a rich Buddhist heritage!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Khmer keyboard and who needs one?

An online Khmer keyboard is a virtual keyboard that displays Cambodian letters on your screen, allowing you to type in Khmer without installing any software. It's essential for the 16+ million Khmer speakers, especially the diaspora in USA, France, and Australia.

Why is Khmer script considered the world's largest alphabet?

Khmer script has 74 letters according to Guinness World Records – 33 consonants, 23 vowels, and 12 independent vowels, plus numerous diacritical marks. This makes it one of the most complex writing systems. However, once you learn the patterns, it becomes logical. Our keyboard makes it accessible!

How do I type subscript consonants (coeng)?

Coeng (្) creates subscript consonants that stack below the main consonant. Type the base consonant, press the coeng key (on J), then type the subscript consonant. For example: ក + ្ + រ = ក្រ (kra). This is how Khmer creates consonant clusters.
