What Is a Slovak Keyboard / Slovenská Klávesnica?
A Slovak keyboard (Slovenská klávesnica) lets you type the 17 special Slovak letters — č, š, ž, ô, ä, ľ, and acute vowels — essential for correct spelling. Typnivo combines typing, diacritic checking, and educational guides in one private workspace.

Slovak Alphabet & Diacritics
Slovak uses a 46-letter Latin alphabet — the longest Slavic alphabet — with digraphs ch, dz, dž counting as single letters. Seventeen letters carry diacritics: mäkčeň (č, ď, ľ, ň, š, ť, ž), dĺžeň (á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, ĺ, ŕ), dve bodky (ä), and vokáň (ô).
Dĺžeň vs Mäkčeň vs Vokáň vs Ä
Dĺžeň (´) marks long vowels and syllabic l/r — á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, ĺ, ŕ. Mäkčeň (ˇ) softens consonants — č, š, ž, ľ, ň, ď, ť. Vokáň (ˆ) on ô spells the /uo/ diphthong (stôl, kôň). Ä (dve bodky) marks wide e in a few words (mäso).
QWERTZ vs QWERTY Keyboard Layouts
Slovak QWERTZ (KBDSL, Windows default) swaps Y and Z vs US keyboards. Diacritic letters sit on the number row: 2=ľ, 3=š, 4=č, 5=ť, 6=ž, 7=ý, 8=á, 9=í, 0=é, plus ú, ä, ô, ň on letter keys. Slovak QWERTY (KBDSL1) keeps US Y/Z positions for diaspora users.
Slovak vs Czech Keyboard — Key Differences
Both use QWERTZ with similar number-row diacritics, but Slovak has ä, ô, ĺ, ľ, ŕ while Czech has ě, ř, ů. The letter ř (Czech rolled fricative) does not exist in Slovak — Slovak uses ŕ (syllabic long r). Czech ů/ú rules differ from Slovak ú.
Slovak Keyboard Shortcuts
Quick Compose: c= č, l= ľ, l== ĺ, o== ô, a== ä, r= ŕ, s= š, z= ž. TypeIt: ' + vowel → acute, / + letter → mäkčeň, ^ + o → ô, " + a → ä. Use the accent strip for one-click insertion.

Frequently asked questions
Slovak keyboard, input methods, and privacy — answered clearly.
How do I type ô and ä on an English keyboard?
Use Easy Accents Quick Compose: o== for ô, a== for ä. Or TypeIt mode: ^ + o → ô, " + a → ä. On Slovak QWERTZ, ô is on the L key and ä beside P.
What is the difference between ĺ and ľ?
Ľ (ľ) is a palatal consonant in common words like ľudia and ľalia — type l= in Quick Compose. Ĺ (ĺ) is a rare long syllabic l (mĺkvy) — type l== before l=.
How do I type ŕ?
Quick Compose: r= → ŕ. TypeIt: ' + r → ŕ. Do not confuse with Czech ř — Slovak has no ř letter.
How does ludia become ľudia?
The diacritic hint bar uses a local dictionary. After typing ludia, apply the hint — no server calls. Homographs like ma/má need your judgment.
QWERTZ or QWERTY layout for Slovak?
QWERTZ (KBDSL) is the Windows default in Slovakia with Y/Z swapped. QWERTY (KBDSL1) keeps US letter positions — useful abroad or for mixed English typing.
How is Slovak different from Czech?
