Rationale
Our Keyboard Design is based on the QWERTY Latin Script Keyboard. We chose this layout because [TO DO] - following Swahili keyboard - allows English typing - modified to include dead key for (i, u) .. chose dead key rather than compose/algr they're super frequent and it's the least possible amt of keystrokes - also is broadly related to Kikuyu, a language spoken by the largest ethnic group in Kenya - added (:) to accomodate Gusii language

Installation [TO DO]
Existing Resources
From our research, there are no computer keyboard layouts for Kamba. Swahili, the "lingua franca" of southeastern Africa, uses the QWERTY layout for Latin script, and a separate layout for Arabic Script. A significant portion of Kamba speakers are also literate in Swahili, so we presume those who would need a computer keyboard would typically use the Swahili Latin Keyboard, as there is no available alternative
- Microsoft Swift Mobile Keyboard Layout for Kamba (only available on mobile devices)
- Contains all characters needed for Kamba and English, but also contains many other characters irrelevant to most Kamba speakers.
- Gboard Keyboard Layout for Kamba (only available on Android mobile devices)
