Lakota/Final Presentation

Here, we aim to answer the question: how can we adapt Latinated keyboards for Suggested Lakota Orthography? We will do so by developing a number of keyboard resources for Lakota across different operating systems, and expanding on our work on a Lakota keyboard here

Background

Orthography

• While there are several existing orthographies of Lakota, we found the most popular to be Suggested Lakota Orthography (SLO)
• This is the most widely used both virtually and across textbooks and language learning resources
