  • Motorola Nheengatú layout. This is what I believe to be the only existing keyboard layout for Nheengatú. Motorola has developed it for Android systems and launched it in early 2021, which is extremely recent. I checked on my cellphone and it is very similar to a regular Portuguese keyboard, but cleaner. Most characters with diacritics are available on the second level of the keyboard, but it is still possible to compose a few letters on the first level.
