Justification
We took the standard English input method, since Chinese Pinyin uses it and most Shanghainese speakers would be familiar with it, and put in the 20 consonant and 11 vowel phonemes while trying to change as little as possible and prioritizing efficient use (No need for AltGr). We did this by borrowing a romanization system then implementing it into IBus.
