Waray/Keyboard

Existing Resources

To our knowledge, there are currently no keyboard layouts specifically for the Waray language. There are a couple of keyboard plug-ins that help with autocorrect and word prediction. However, they use the same standard QWERTY keyboard layout as many other languages with Latin alphabets (ie. English, Spanish, German, etcetera). We wanted to create a layout that better suits the Waray language.

Custom Layout

Overview

The keyboard we designed is a variant of the standard Latin/English keyboard layout: the (physical) keys are arranged in the same manner but (the letters are) organized based on character frequency.

This keyboard has the following attributes: The Filipino alphabet consists of the 26 ISO basic Latin letters (ie. English alphabet), in addition to the Spanish Ñ and the Tagalog digraph Ng. The letters are pronounced the same as they would in English, aside from the Ñ.

• Alt + N will display Ñ
• Alt + n will display ñ
