Burushãski Girminas - Roman/latin Keyboard Help

Please use the keyboard as you would use any other American English keyboard except for phoneme unique to Burushãski, Shina and Khowar. Following is the chart that can be used as a guidance. The keyboard is designed and developed after careful consideration of the linguistic context in which burusho people live.

This means the proposed alphabets would not only be easy for burusho speakers to write but they also are common to the speakers of Urdu, Shina and Khowar. While IPA standards are excellent for language professionals, this keyboard and the proposed alphabets are for the common people to communicate.
