ROMANISED
In the Romanised layout of the Nepali Keyboard of Gboard, you can have Nepali characters in a Romanised manner. I assume You are familiar with the QWERTY keyboard format; in this format, we have the English alphabet in a different key position. In our Romanised layout of the Nepali keyboard, we have the Nepali alphabet in the QWERTY keyboard’s respective key position to facilitate Nepali Romanization. For example, in s, we have स; in d, we have द. Like that layout is formed to facilitate the Romanised Nepali for Nepali typing.
Romanized Nepali Keyboard layout look like this-
ABC –> नेपाली
This ABC–> Nepali is the second layout out of 6 different Nepali keyboard layout of Gboard. This is one handy for everyone. Using this layout, you can use a normal English QWERTY layout to type Roman Nepali. This layout will automatically translate those typed Romanized Nepali to true Nepali characters. Using this, you can easily type Nepali anywhere using your smartphone.

This is another advanced feature that Gboard provides for Nepali typing on your smartphone. It next layout you have in your Nepali keyboard layout list. You will get a drawing area on this keyboard layout where you can draw Nepali characters and words. Those drawn characters are then converted to true Nepali characters and ready to use anywhere in your application. This one is a really cool feature that Gboard provides, and it also makes this application more accessible and handy. Anyone can type Nepali on their smartphone just by drawing Nepali characters on this layout’s drawing area. You are going to love these features.

The dynamic Nepali keyboard layout of the Gboard application is a little unique from the other layouts.
