ℹ️ About accuracy:
This tool uses a curated dictionary of common words & conversational phrases combined with an intelligent offline Tamil transliteration engine.
Words outside the dictionary are composed using Tamil phonetic rules (consonants, vowel signs, virama/pulli, and Grantha characters). Since Thanglish spelling varies informally, try alternate phonetic spellings if a word looks different than desired.
Thanglish to Tamil
Thanglish is the informal style of writing Tamil using English (Latin) letters — the way millions of Tamil speakers naturally type on phones and computers when a Tamil keyboard is not available. Words like vanakkam, nandri, and epdi irukeenga are Thanglish. This free online Thanglish to Tamil converter reads those English-letter words and converts them into proper Tamil Unicode script, so you can read, copy, and share them in any messaging app, document, or social media post.

Click the Convert to Tamil button (or press Ctrl + Enter on your keyboard).

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Thanglish to Tamil conversion?
The converter uses a dictionary of 2 000+ common Tamil words and phrases for its primary results — those are highly accurate. For words not in the dictionary, a phoneme-mapping engine applies Tamil letter-sound rules to convert the English letters. This works well for most common words but may produce approximate results for rare words, less common names, or highly regional spellings. Thanglish has no fixed spelling standard, so a word like vanakkam may also be spelled vanakam or vanakkam — the dictionary accounts for many of these variants. You can always edit the output if a word is wrong.
Can I use this tool on my mobile phone?
Yes. The Thanglish to Tamil converter is fully responsive and designed for touchscreens. The text areas are large, the buttons are easy to tap, and the layout adjusts automatically for smaller screens. You can use it in any mobile browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Samsung Internet — without installing any app.
How do I copy the Tamil text and use it in WhatsApp or other apps?
After converting your text, tap or click the Copy Tamil Text button. The Tamil Unicode script is copied to your clipboard. Then open WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Gmail, or any other app and paste it as you normally would — long-press the text field and tap Paste on mobile, or press Ctrl + V on a computer. Tamil Unicode is supported by all modern operating systems and messaging apps.
What if my Thanglish spelling is different from what the tool expects?
Thanglish has many spelling variations. For example, vanakkam, vanakam, and vanakkam are all common spellings for the same word. The dictionary includes the most widely used variants. If your spelling is not recognised, the phoneme engine will attempt a rule-based conversion, which may be close but not exact. You can then edit the Tamil output manually, or try an alternative Thanglish spelling of the same word.
