Dane-Z̲aa Z̲áágéʔ Keyboard Help

This keyboard is designed for the Dane-Z̲aa Z̲áágéʔ language of the Western Subarctic region of Canada.

Desktop Layout

Combining accents are located on the standard / and \ keys. Type an accent after a vowel to add it on the vowel. If you've typed the wrong accent, just type the correct accent to replace it.

  • á = a then /
  • ǎ = a then \
  • â = a then Shift+\

By holding the ALT key, you can return to the standard US English keyboard value of any modified key (such as p, r, q, v, x, and various punctuation). Shift-Alt will give you the standard English shifted value of the modified key (such as P, R, Q, V, Z, etc).

NOTE: When using Google Docs, / is typed Right-Alt+Shift+/ (Windows) or ⌥ Option+Shift+/ (Mac).

Unicode Fonts

The following fonts have been installed on your computer: Aboriginal Sans, Aboriginal Serif. Please use these fonts when typing in your language as they have been specially built to represent your language as accurately as possible.
