-We maintained the LLC keyboard's layout of alphabetic characters, given that we know most Lakota speakers are bilingual and fluent in English and we liked that it was close to the layout of the American English keyboard while also replacing unnecessary characters with those used in the Lakota orthography. The LLC keyboard included a '''deadkey''' which adds stress to vowels, and we opted to keep that as well, and moved the characters "?" and "/", which were originally where the deadkey is, to the top numeric row. We also changed the positioning of the numeric characters based on use of punctuation and assumption of a numpad. The LLC keyboard excluded the exclamation mark as well as the ampersand, along with a few other characters we thought would be useful, so we replaced the numbers 1, 2, 3, 9 and 0 with punctuation instead - the retention of only five numbers seemed arbitrary, at any rate. We chose lowercase punctuation marks based on frequency of use, and made sure to include all the punctuation marks one would need to use when typing both formally and informally, and included an apostrophe as an '''alphabetic character'''.
