Justification

There has been a huge drive towards revitalization in the Onondaga community and many digital resources are under development to promote language acquisition in classrooms. An easy-to-use, intuitive keyboard suit would be conducive to allowing the community to get the best use out of their new digital resources.

Existing Resources

  • Android keyboard
    • Android only
    • Unintuitive layout for people used to typing in English
  • Mac/Windows keyboard
    • No documentation
    • A lot of key presses to get to characters with diacritics
    • Can't figure out how to
    • Also unintuitive (b:ñ)

Design goals

  • Intuitive use
  • Supports the orthography in Hanni Woodbury's dictionary
    • Most characters with diacritics match up with their non-diacritic counter-parts
    • All characters with the same diacritic located on the same level
    • ctrl: acute accent, option/alt: ogonek
    • Characters with multiple diacritics accessed by holding down both control and option
  • Cross-platform availability
  • Facilitate typing in both English and Onondaga as much as possible
    • Most (if not all) Onondaga speakers speak English primarily and I'm trying to minimize the inconvenience of switching keyboards
