 ===For the Cyrillic Chechen keyboard layout===
-Different from all the virtual online keyboards for Chechen language I found online, we chose to just modify the Russian one by adding that one extra letter "l" (called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palochka Palochka] in the Cyrillic script) to it. To start with, as mentioned before, the only difference between Cyrillic Chechen alphabet and Cyrillic Russian one is only one extra letter and therefore it would be convenient for people who are already familiar with Russian keyboard to use the Chechen one. Moreover, as shown on the Ethnologue page of Chechen language, most population speaking Chechen also speak Russian. Because of the similarity I mentioned above, it is safe to assume that a lot of Chechen speakers probably use the Russian keyboard currently. Therefore, we expect that this keyboard would be more convenient for the language community to use especially.

 When designing the IPA keyboard layout for Chechen language, we chose to modify the existed layout of US English keyboard because many IPA symbols are the same with English letters and therefore already exist on the US English keyboard. It is more convenient for users who are already familiar with the English keyboard to get used to this IPA one if we just add some changes to the previous to create the latter.
 Because people do not use punctuations and numbers in US English keyboard when they are typing in IPA, except “[”, “]” and “/”, we replace all the unnecessary punctuations and numbers with IPA symbols that do not exist in English alphabet, diacritics and prosodic notations. Also, we arrange the keys so that even SHIFT is rarely used in order to type Chechen in IPA. Since all the IPA symbols do not have upper case versions and the amount of IPA symbols that exist in Chechen sound system are relatively small, it is possible to make a keyboard layout that basically have one level only.

 ::'''For diacritics and prosodic notations:'''  We try to keep all of them on the right-hand side of the keyboard. Some of them are arranged in a way also based on the similarity between themselves and punctuations they replace. For example, <;> is replaced by <◌ː>. The only diacritic that we put on the left side is <◌̥> because it only appears when being combined with [r] in Chechen sound system while others all have more than one combination. Due to this lack of frequency, we decide to put it on the upper left position.
