Morse Code in Every Language
International Morse code covers A to Z, the numbers and É. Every other letter in the world is sent with a national code, a telegraph code, or romanised. This page lists every one we support and where each code comes from.
How we check every code
Each table on this site was parsed directly from its published source, not typed by hand, and compared with a second independent source wherever one exists: the language's own Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, amateur radio societies, and morsecode.world. Where sources disagree, we leave the letter out rather than guess, and the page for that alphabet says so. Tables with only one source are marked as such in the translator.
What we found
- The Arabic table on the most-visited Morse site gives ه as ··−−··, the question mark; English and Arabic Wikipedia both give ··−··.
- Croatian's national letters match the 1937 Serbian Cyrillic table letter for letter.
- Serbian differs from Russian for В, Ж, Ч and Ш.
- Polish Wikipedia swaps the codes of Ź and Ż compared with English and Swedish Wikipedia, so we send both as Z.
- Ukraine's official regulation sends Ї the same as І; the scout table and English Wikipedia give it its own code.
- Tatar, Bashkir, Kazakh and Mongolian Wikipedia only print the Russian table: those languages use it.
Scripts with no Morse code
We found no published Morse code for Georgian, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Sinhala, Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Tibetan, Mongolian script, Syriac, Uyghur, Pashto, Sindhi, Yiddish, Amharic, Macedonian or Belarusian. Operators send these languages in Latin letters, so the translator romanises them letter by letter and shows the original under each one.
