Existing Resources

Keyboards

  • Microsoft keyboard Macro for Tongan. [1]
  • This is a Windows system Polynesian keyboard. It was originally designed for Tonga, but because other Polynesian languages use the macron, fakamamafa, and fakauʻa. [2]
  • Since there are many Polynesian languages contain the same letters as Tongan, I did some research on existing Polynesian keyboards as well. '"

Conclusions Seeing as the official languages of Tonga include both Tongan and English, I will base my keyboard layout on English and add the necessary macron, fakamamafa, and fakauʻa keys as individual keys and 3rd level keys.
