What is the Urdu Keyboard?
AZRS's online Urdu keyboard lets you type Urdu Nastaliq script directly in your browser without any software or keyboard layout changes. Perfect for typing Urdu poetry, messages, or documents and copying them into WhatsApp, Word, or email. Urdu is written right-to-left (RTL), and the page switches text direction automatically the moment you select it.
Urdu is written right-to-left in the Nastaliq style of the Perso-Arabic script. It is the national language of Pakistan and spoken by over 230 million people worldwide. The Urdu alphabet has 38 letters and uses the same Unicode block as Arabic with additional characters. Switching your OS keyboard layout every time you need to type Urdu is cumbersome. Our online Urdu keyboard works instantly in any browser on any device — no installs, no settings changes.
