 The /ʔ/ is a 4rth level key on the same key as the  fakauʻa, the orthographic representation of the glottal stop.
-I included the acute accent as a compose key, because all the levels of each vowel are being used by the vowel with a macron diacritic, a much more common combination than a vowel with an acute accent. I placed this key at the tilda key, as again, it is rarely used and the accent mark symbol also may make it easier for people to remember the acute accent mark lives on that key.

 '''Conclusions'''
-Seeing as the official languages of Tonga include both Tongan and English, I will base my keyboard layout on English and add the necessary macron and fakauʻa keys as individual keys and 3rd level keys.

 I chose to base my Tongan keyboard off of the standard English Keyboard. Tongan and English are the official language of Tonga, so English is likely to be the most common language spoken by those who speak Tongan. Additionally, all letters in the Tongan orthography are also found within the English orthography except for the fakauʻa (glottal stop).
