Layout
Justification
In creating a keyboard layout for Miyako, my goals were as follows:
- Not rely on knowledge of the Roman alphabet/the English keyboard layout
- Not rely on knowledge of the Japanese keyboard layout
- Minimise the number of keystrokes required to produce each character
Questions of particular concern included:
- How to handle glides like きゃ
- How to handle geminate consonants like っざ
- How to handle ん
- How to handle character combinations like ん゜な
Existing Resources
There is an Android keyboard layout for Okinawan. I have not tried it, but based on the description and screenshots posted, it seems to be a standard Japanese flick keyboard with conversion to kanji with the Okinawan pronunciation. In creating this keyboard layout, I was working from the orthography found here. http://miyako-ikema.webonary.org/orthography/
