Obolo Chwerty Keyboard

# Onu! (Welcome!)

This is the Chwerty layout for writing Obolo language. In this keyboard, accents are typed after the base letters.

So, to type "usem Obolo" with this keyboard layout, simply tap the given letters and tap the appropriate accents to pace them on the letters.

# Keyboard Layout

The keyboard uses CHWERTY layout.

"Ebi Obolo" do not have 'C' and 'H' in their "abiche" (alphabet), but they have the 'CH' sound (as well as the 'SH' sound in some dialect).
This and other features make Obolo Language unique, hence this unique layout.

## Desktop Layout

## Mobile/Tablet Layout

Due to the size and number of keys, some characters are hidden in the long press. Press and hold on the key with a little dot on the top right to reveal and use them.

In this language, note that:

(1) Only one tone mark can sit on a letter. So, diacritic stacking is not allowed.

(2) Some tones are not to be marked in writing; they are not required. They are only used in primers and for beginners.

(3) Some letters do not accept some accents.

(4) Others do not accept accents at all.

Except for the optional accents which are not required, the keyboard will notify you when you inadvertently go against the spelling rules.

On mobile devices, tap the deadkey (⨷) then the given key to get the English letter in that position.

On desktop, if what you are doing does not support 'n̄' or does not render it well, then you can tap the BACKSLASH key after the 'n̄' to get 'ñ'.

The position of your BACKSLASH key depends on type of keyboard you are using. You can tell where your BACKSLASH key is by looking at the shape of the ENTER/RETURN key on your keyboard

The three keyboard types and the respective position of the BACKSLASH keys are shown below:
