Thanks,
zabar, zair and pash are available with the combinations Shift+3, Shift+4 & Shift+5 and probably you are asking for Noon which is available in two forms as ‘n’ and ‘N’ and then Hey which is available on ‘h’, ‘H’, ‘w’ & ‘W.
I have installed the program, but what about the ‘zair, zabar, pash’ etc. keys also how about complex words like ‘batain’ ‘hahin’ which require some half letters?
Thanks
I’d like to say hello to all people on this board.

please disregard my previous question. I figured it out just by the Grace of God! I clicked Project the build dll and setup package. I then followed the link to where it said it was created and clicked setup. Then Vista did the rest.
I had no clue what that was but it worked YAYAYAYA I have been trying to install this thing for 4 hours and much frustration. Maybe you can add this thing I did to the instruction.
I downloaded everything. I have windows vista. The problem the default Urdu keyboard is Islamic Republic of Pakistan. How do I get the Phonetic Urdu keyboard to be listed where you select the keyboard? I have no options on the main keyboards and languages tab except 1 which is “change keyboards.”
I cliked it and it brings up the list for which the Urdu Phonetic is not listed. There is nothing to install additional keyboards. thank you so much.. If you can help it’d be greatly appreciated.
Urdu Phonetic Keyboard is also available for download. [...
