It's possible to type N'Ko without installing any software. Using this method is recommended if you want to type in N'Ko, but you cannot enable an N'Ko keyboard on the computer that you are using.

This virtual keyboard layout uses transliteration: typing Latin letter with the sounds of N'Ko letters produces the N'Ko letter. Consult the table below for the complete correspondence of Latin and N'Ko letters in this layout. If you are familiar with the Latin keyboard, but you are not familiar with the standard PC or mobile N'Ko keyboard, then you should try using this keyboard. There is also a layout based on the standard N'Ko keyboard, which is documented on the page Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input methods/nqo-standard-qwerty. Use any layout that is comfortable for you.

To make this layout work, follow these instructions:


 * 1) Click the search box at the top of the page.
 * 2) Click the little keyboard icon that appears near the search box.
 * 3) * If the little keyboard icon doesn't appear, do the following: Click the gear icon near the "Languages" list in the sidebar, click "Input", click "Enable input tools", and click "Apply settings".
 * 4) If "ߒߞߏ" appears at the top of the list, select "N'Ko transliteration".
 * 5) If "ߒߞߏ" doesn't appear at the top of the list, do the following:
 * 6) Click "..." at the bottom of the list. A panel will appear.
 * 7) Find "ߒߞߏ" in the panel. Click it.
 * 8) Click the little keyboard icon again, and select "N'Ko transliteration".

To disable this special keyboard and go back to type usually, click the little keyboard icon and then click "Use native keyboard", or press Ctrl-M. To re-enable the keyboard, press Ctrl-M, or repeat the steps above.
