Existing Resources

I have found two existing examples of a keyboard for Siberian Yupik, neither of which seems to be widely used or very extensively developed. The language has been written in both Latin script and in Cyrillic so the first keyboard I found was in Cyrillic script here. I don't know much about Cyrillic, but it appears to use significantly less characters than something like a Russian keyboard layout. This might be explained by the fact that the phonetic inventory is relatively small and when written in Latin script it does not include as many characters as English.

The second keyboard I found was in Latin script, it looks very similar to a standard English keyboard and is linked here. The only difference is that the forward slash key is used to add an accent to any letter and the semicolon key is used to add a bridge between two letters. There are also two different keys for opening and closing quotes, as opposed to just one key.
