What Is a Romanian Stylish Keyboard / Tastatură Română?
A Romanian keyboard (Tastatură Română) lets you type diacritics — ă, â, î, ș, ț — essential for correct Romanian spelling. KeyLingo combines typing, diacritic checking, and typography tools in one private workspace.
How to Type Romanian Diacritics Online
Open KeyLingo Romanian Keyboard and use Easy Accents: Quick Compose (a= → ă, s= → ș) or TypeIt dead keys. Switch to Virtual Keyboard for Programmers (AltGr) or Standard (dedicated keys) layout.
Romanian Alphabet Guide
Romanian has 31 letters: 26 Latin plus ă, â, î, ș, ț. Each diacritic letter is distinct — not optional decoration. Missing diacritics can change meaning (tara vs țară, peste vs pește).
ș/ț vs ş/ţ — Comma-Below vs Legacy Cedilla
Modern Romanian uses comma-below ș and ț (Unicode U+0219, U+021B). Legacy Windows layouts used wrong cedilla ş and ţ — KeyLingo's cedilla fixer converts pasted legacy text.
Standard vs Programmers Keyboard
Standard layout has dedicated keys for ă, â, î, ș, ț. Programmers layout keeps US QWERTY punctuation — diacritics via AltGr: A=ă, S=ș, T=ț, I=î, Q=â. Recommended for diaspora on QWERTY keyboards.
Romanian Keyboard Shortcuts
Quick Compose: a= ă, a== â, i= î, s= ș, t= ț. TypeIt: ` + a → ă, ^ + a/i → â/î, , + s/t → ș/ț. Use the accent strip for one-click insertion.
Privacy-Local Typing
All typing and diacritic checking run locally in your browser. KeyLingo never uploads your Romanian text to a server.
