Digit

If the setting "Digit in English" is not set, Bodo and English digits are typed this way
० = 0, १ = 1, २ = 2, ३ = 3, ४ = 4, ५ = 5, ६ = 6, ७ = 7, ८ = 8, ९ = 9
0 = 0-, 1 = 1-, 2 = 2-, 3 = 3-, 4 = 4-, 5 = 5-, 6 = 6-, 7 = 7-, 8 = 8-, 9 = 9-

Symbol

The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) < > - + / = ; . , " ? ! % \ _ & $ @ # ~ * : ^ are transliterated into the same symbols.
Symbols | ' have special meaning. You can type this way
| = |-

' = '-

These symbols will type Bodo characters first but if "-" will be followed, it will remove previously typed Bodo character and then type the symbol.

Rule

  1. Consonant is followed by vowel sign character to make a live consonant.
    Example
    ख खा खि खु खे खै खो खौ खं
    ko ka ki ku ke kwi kw kwo kong
  2. Character "ng" transliterates to "ं" but if it is followed by vowel sign character, it will transliterate to "ंग"
    Example
    मिथिंगा = mithinga

    नांगौ = nangwo

Example

अखरां = okorang

गोजों = gwjwng

हिनजावसा = hinojaOsa

जेरै = jerwi

गिज्रा = gijra
