Justification
Linux Kalmyk keyboard
I chose to use Linux's Kalmyk keyboard. It has obvious drawbacks, such as having similar inconveniences as the Russian keyboard (ex. the comma and the colon being placed on the second level), and implying that Kalmyk is a derivative of Russian with "extra" letters. However, it is convenient because most speakers of Kamlyk are also fluent in Russian, and this keyboard allows them to type in both languages without switching keyboards. This layout was also added by the community. [1]
