Native Language Keybards

[RodimusPrime81]

I am Indigenous American from the Ojibwe Nation, I seen on the list of language keyboard inputs there was Cherokee but it was the only indigenous keyboard. I was wondering about an Ojibwe Syllabics keyboard also being able to be put into that list. I believe there are many companies that are working with mac and windows like keymans, but they have yet to have it for linux. I was thinking it would be nice to just have it as an input keyboard that you could switch from english QWERTY to Ojibwe Syllabics.

Someone with knowledge of the syllabics and how they are used is needed to create such a layout - why not you?

There are actually programs for that such as this Layout Editor from the Google Summer Camp: https://github.com/simos/keyboardlayouteditor All you need is to put the syllabics on the keys how ever you like them; unicode tables (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_C ... ode_block)) or the ''charmap'' program will support you.

If you don't dare to do use these programs and struggle with the unicode tables, I suggest that you just post here a picture/table of the layout how you imagine it - maybe someone else will invest an hour or two to set and test it - then just share it with others

Thank so much for the feed back, I will be attempting to do this and share it among the Linux users. Its very much appreciated for the guidance. I didn't know this was something out there to use and edit.
