Help:Extension:Narayam/Odia/Lekhani



Lekhani is a proposed standard keyboard layout for Narayam in Odia language. It is based on the "Oriya phonetic typing on Ubuntu" and "Oriya - QUERTY" on Mac as they both follow one common typing standard. Lekhani is a proosed name for this typing scheme on Wikipedia.

Objective

 * To support Linux and Mac users for editing in a standard scheme in which they are comfortable
 * The current transliteration tool is a generic tool for most Indic languages and user "virama" as a default output for most consonants, and Odia doesn't have virama for the words. This forces the user to type one extra "a" to write any consonants and similar extra vowels for other characters. This tool could be an advantage over these hurdles.
 * Many new key combinations are not known to new editors where they fail to write because of the new typing format. Those hurdles could be overcome by this tool.
