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
