Harari (Arabi harfi) Keyboard Help
Harari (Arabi harfi) Unicode Keyboard Layout
Version 2.1
© 2009 State Library of Victoria and the Australian Saay Harari Association
This keyboard layout was designed for use with the Harari Arabic orthography. The input sequences are based on the Harari Latin orthography adopted by the Harari Community Language school in Melbourne, Australia. The Latin script is used to teach the younger Harari children their own language.
This keyboard layout has been designed to facilitate typing in the Arabic script by young students who have studied the Harari language using the Latin script.
if you have not learnt Harari using the Latin orthography, please use one of the alternative Harari Arabic keyboard layout.
