We noticed that the Typewriter keyboard differs from the Phonetic keyboard in vowel and consonant placement. It seems as though the Typewriter keyboard places the vowels and punctuation marks on the left side of the keyboard with the consonants on the right. In the Dhivehi language, words are typically constructed with "CV" chunks, which are formed with vowels as diacritics modifying consonants. Even when using vowels independently, there is a special character called "alifu" that acts as a placeholder for the consonant of the "CV" chunk. In addition, the language is read from right to left, which explains why the consonants are on the right and the vowels on the left. Thus, the placement of the consonants and the vowels fits well with the Dhivehi language structure.
