Murasu Anjal keyboard is now in Windows 11
Rejoice! Murasu Anjal is now part of Microsoft Windows 11. After decades of waiting, Tamilians the world over can now use out-of-the-box the gold standard for Tamil language input in PC, the one-and-only Murasu Anjal in Windows 11. It is now an operating system feature. No need to install the app separately, just go to language settings, and add the keyboard. Please use it and share your feedback with Microsoft using the Feedback Hub app in Windows 11. It is currently available only for Windows 11, Version 10.0.22621.1344 and above.
The Tamil99, the keyboard layout standard prescribed by the Government of Tamil Nadu has been available in Windows 10, from 2017 as explained in my previous blog post. And the Tamil Phonetic Keyboard layout has been available in Windows 11 from 2021.
