Free Online Vietnamese VNI Keyboard – Type Vietnamese with Number Shortcuts

Welcome to the Vietnamese VNI keyboard online (Bàn phím Tiếng Việt)! Our free virtual keyboard lets you type Vietnamese using the VNI input method – a systematic approach where you use numbers to add tones and diacritics. Type 'Viet65 Nam' and get 'Việt Nam'!

What is VNI input method? VNI uses numbers after letters to add Vietnamese tones and modify vowels. It's systematic and easy to learn: 1=sắc (á), 2=huyền (à), 3=hỏi (ả), 4=ngã (ã), 5=nặng (ạ). For vowel shapes: 6=ă/â, 7=ê, 8=ô, 9=ơ, 0=ư.

Vietnamese language facts: Vietnamese is spoken by 95+ million people, primarily in Vietnam. It's a tonal language with 6 tones! It uses Latin script with extensive diacritics: ă, â, ê, ô, ơ, ư, đ, and tone marks. Vietnamese is the most widely spoken Austroasiatic language.

Perfect for: Vietnamese speakers who prefer VNI over Telex, anyone who finds number-based input intuitive, Vietnamese learners, the Vietnamese diaspora, and anyone typing Vietnamese without a Vietnamese keyboard installed.

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Vietnamese text stays on your device only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VNI input method?

VNI (Vietnamese Input) uses numbers to add tones and diacritics. After typing a letter, press: 1=sắc (á), 2=huyền (à), 3=hỏi (ả), 4=ngã (ã), 5=nặng (ạ). For vowels: 6=ă/â, 7=ê, 8=ô, 9=ơ, 0=ư. Example: 'a1' → 'á', 'a6' → 'ă'.

What's the difference between VNI and Telex?

VNI uses numbers (a1→á, a2→à), while Telex uses letters (as→á, af→à). VNI is more systematic; Telex is faster for touch typists. Both produce the same Vietnamese text. AnyKeyboard supports both!

How do I type đ (d-bar)?

Type 'd9' or 'dd' to get 'đ'. The letter đ represents a 'd' sound in Vietnamese (regular 'd' is pronounced like 'z' in the North or 'y' in the South).

What are the 6 Vietnamese tones?

Vietnamese has 6 tones: ngang (no mark), sắc (á - rising), huyền (à - falling), hỏi (ả - dipping-rising), ngã (ã - rising glottalized), nặng (ạ - low glottalized). Our keyboard supports all of them!
