Horsethief's layout separates vowels from consonants, and then simply presents them (almost) alphabetical order. It does not seem to take into account the English format that Warlpiri speakers are used to, nor does it seem that it would increase typing speed by putting common letters near the center or common groupings of letters near each other.
