Yonaguni in detail

Clavier yonaguni en ligne : écrivez ドゥナンムヌイ (Kana) avec ce clavier virtuel gratuit — cliquez sur les touches ou tapez avec votre clavier physique. The Yonaguni (ドゥナンムヌイ) covers the Kana script as used across Asie. Text flows left to right in the editor, and every character below belongs to the authentic Kana repertoire — no transliterated approximations once you use the virtual keys.

The romaji engine turns Latin input into kana on the fly, with long vowels, sokuon and katakana variants handled from the same keystrokes.

Everything runs locally in your browser: copy your text to any app, export it, listen to it with the yoi speech voice, or send it to Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Translate, DuckDuckGo. A curated dictionary hub with monolingual dictionaries, bilingual translators, grammar references and press links sits further down this page.

Every key on the Yonaguni

The layout holds 45 character keys: 45 distinct base characters, 45 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 212 mappings, longest match wins, applied left to right. Try « ka » → か, « ki » → き, « ku » → く 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

Kana 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 yoi 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 Noto Sans JP, Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN, Yu Gothic (fallback Noto Sans JP). 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 Kana? These 16 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.
