Existing Resources
There are no existing keyboards specifically for Bikol that I have found, but the Bikol orthography is derived from that of Filipino/Tagalog and contains no extra characters.
On Linux, there are several Filipino keyboards, and most come with a corresponding Baybayin layout:
- Filipino
- Filipino (Capewell-Dvorak)
- Filipino (Capewell QWERF 2006)
- Filipino (Colemak)
- Filipino (Dvorak)
Justification
I plan to use the standard Filipino keyboard for use in my Bikol work. This keyboard is based closely on the English keyboard, as the orthographies of Filipino and Bikol are subsets of the letters available in English keyboards. Most Bikol speakers also speak Filipino and English, so I suspect this standard keyboard is the most commonly used among Bikol speakers. This keyboard will also be the easiest for me to use, since I'm used to the English keyboard.
