 This keyboard is heavily based on the standard Russian keyboard. Our rationale for this is that Russian and Even both use cyrillic with only two characters differing. The differing characters are the inclusion of "ӈ" and "ѳ". We decided to include these keys by making them alt keys for the visually similar "н" and "о". Admittedly, we didn't spend time looking at the frequency of use of these characters so it is thus far unclear whether this is an optimal keyboard layout, however, should we realize there is a better way to layout these keys further in the class we can always go back and change it. Basing the keyboard on the standard
 Russian keyboard makes it very convenient, as most Even speakers are also Russian speakers so they are already familiar with the layout. However, this also has unfortunate implications in that as it is based on Russian, it tends toward colonialism. However, this keyboard is primarily meant for use within this  class, so we chose to continue on with our original keyboard layout.

 *Convenient bc russian is very similar
 *this would mean this keyboard is familiar to use
 *unfortunate implications for basing it off russian (colonialism)
 *Primarily meant for use in this class is why we're going with it anyway
