Serbian Keyboard in detail

Clavier serbe Cyrillique en ligne : tapez ћирилица avec translittération, y compris les lettres љ њ ђ ћ џ ѕ. The Serbian Keyboard (Српска тастатура) covers the Cyrillic script as used across Serbia & Balkans. Text flows left to right in the editor, and every character below belongs to the authentic Cyrillic repertoire — no transliterated approximations once you use the virtual keys.

The smart transliteration engine converts Latin keystrokes into Cyrillic in real time using 39 hand-tuned rules: type the phonetic transcription and watch each syllable transform as you type.

The page ships 3 built-in variants — Cyrillic (Vuk's standard Cyrillic layout.); Phonetic (Type latin Serbian, get Cyrillic ('ziveli' → 'живели').); Latin (Type in Serbian Latin (č, ć, š) directly.) — switchable without reloading. Your text never leaves the browser: copy it to any app, export it, listen to it with the sr-RS speech voice, or send it to Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Translate, DuckDuckGo.

Every key on the Serbian Keyboard

The layout holds 34 character keys: 34 distinct base characters, 34 Shift variants. The table below maps each physical position to the characters it produces, so you can learn the layout or verify coverage of a rare letter before you start typing.

Complete transliteration table

The quick table higher up this page shows an excerpt. Below is the complete engine: all 39 mappings, longest match wins, applied left to right. Try « zdravo » → здраво, « ziveli » → живели, « hvala » → хвала to feel how whole words collapse into script in a single gesture. Multi-character sequences always win over single letters, so digraphs and common words convert before their parts do.

Getting the most out of this keyboard

Start with the Cyrillic variant if you are unsure: Vuk's standard Cyrillic layout. You can switch variants mid-text without losing what you typed.

Cyrillic runs left to right, so mixing it with in-line Latin terms, brand names or URLs just works: the editor keeps each run in its own direction without manual markers.

For pronunciation, press the speaker button: the sr-RS voice reads exactly what is in the editor, which makes this page a practical dictation and shadowing tool. Export the text first if you want to rehearse offline.

Preferred typefaces here are PT Serif, Noto Sans (fallback PT Sans). If a character shows as a box on your device, switch fonts in the toolbar — complex-script shaping varies between systems, especially on older phones.

Common words to try first

New to Cyrillic? These 8 conversions are the fastest way to trust the engine: type the left column exactly and confirm the right column appears. They cover greetings, frequent words and the trickiest letter combinations of the language.
