Telex (input method)
Telex is an input method to write in Vietnamese alphabet using a Latin keyboard layout.
| Character | Keys pressed | Sample input | Sample output |
|---|---|---|---|
| ă | aw | trawng | trăng |
| â | aa | caan | cân |
| đ | dd | ddaau | đâu |
| ê | ee | ddeem | đêm |
| ô | oo | nhoo | nhô |
| ơ | ow | mow | mơ |
| ư | uw | tuw | tư |
To write the pair of keys as two distinct characters, the second character has to be repeated. For example, "beeer" becomes "beer".
| Tone | Keys added to syllable | Sample input | Sample output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ngang (Level) | z or nothing | ngang | ngang |
| Huyền (Falling) | f | huyeenf | huyền |
| Sắc (Rising) | s | sawcs | sắc |
| Hỏi (Dipping-rising) | r | hoir | hỏi |
| Ngã (Rising glottalized) | x | ngax | ngã |
| Nặng (Falling glottalized) | j | nawngj | nặng |
If more than one tone marking keys are pressed, the last one will be used. For example, typing "asz" will return "a". To write a tone marking key as a normal character, one has to press it twice: "herr" becomes "her".
