Keyboard

You asked about making a keyboard for the Mon Wikipedia, that would be similar to the one that is available in the Burmese Wikipedia.

I can probably do it, but I wonder: Have you actually tried using the keyboard in the Burmese Wikipedia? I know that the Burmese script has a lot of complicated features, and I never heard any feedback from users about it. If you think that it works well in my.wikipedia.org, then I can do the same for Mon.

Is this also necessary for other languages?

The Burmese keyboard on Burmese Wikipedia works well for Burmese, but not for other languages. Burmese and Mon have similar alphabets but different spellings. can not be used with Burmese keyboard for Mon language, but Burmese has 33 consonants, Mon has 35 consonants; therefore, Mon has more letters than Burmese, differences in Burmese and Mon writing, take a look at the GIF image below= https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mon_and_Burmese_spelling_differences.gif ,not required for other languages, adding other languages to on Mon Keyboard can cause typing problems. Mon Keyboard should have only one Mon alphabet. Currently, Mon Wikipedia does not have a Mon Keyboard, which makes writing articles difficult, if there was a Mon Keyboard in the Wikipedia project, Wikipedia users could be very helpful, in fact, some current Wikipedia users have done nothing to help Mon Wikipedia because they do not have a Mon keyboard, this is very unfortunate, the key I gave you was to use the Mon Keyboard, thanks.

OK. Is the keyboard that you suggested on Support used anywhere else? Or did you come up with it yourself?

No, my recommended keyboard keys are Mon typing on the computer, which is still in use from 2003 to 2021, it is easy to install a keyboard on a computer for Burmese language, but it is very difficult to install a Mon language keyboard on a computer. It is easy to find computer keyboard on Google for Burmese language but difficult to find computer keyboard on Google for Mon language. Mon keyboards provided by Google may not be usable due to incomplete characters. Therefore, we have to find skilled Mon technicians to use Mon Keyboard and install Mon Keyboard for them for a fee, I paid 800 baht at the computer shop for my current Mon keyboard. Wikipedia does not yet have a Mon keyboard, so there are some difficulties, Burma needs a lot of technical assistance for other minority languages, including Mon, although the Burmese language has reached a modern stage, minority languages are still outdated, that's why I can help Wikipedia for minority languages. The reason for the backwardness of minority languages is due to the extremist actions of the Burmese people. As a result, the minority resisted the extremist actions of the Burmese people, as a result, there are frequent wars in Burma and the number of refugees continues to rise. I do not blame anyone, my statements have a lot of solid evidence, here is some of my evidence.

  1. The Burmese government does not allow the official teaching of ethnic literature in ethnic areas, in the whole of Burma, only one Burmese language is allowed to be officially taught.
  2. The Burmese government does not officially recognized ethnic music singers in ethnic areas,

There is much more evidence, if you think my words are hate speech, I would like to invite you to visit Burma. It is not that I enjoy living in Thailand now, only because of circumstances anyway, I miss my motherland in Burma. I still have a lot of work to do on ethnic languages on the wikipedia project, I apologize if you did not like what I said, because I was traumatized when I was a child, thanks.

 
 

Hi,

I went over the list of letters you posted. It's similar to the Anonta keyboard. I noticed some differences between what you posted and that keyboard. Please confirm these corrections:

  • ` - ၝ
  • T - ဳ
  • B - ၐ
  • M - ÷

Anonta keyboard is a new keyboard released by Anonta Mon in 2021. Anonta Mon, a Facebook user, has been instrumental in many Mon language techniques. The key list I gave you is from an old keyboard, I agree to use the keyboard designed by Anonta Mon, I'm still trying out the keyboard designed by Anonta Mon, but the new keyboard is different from the old keyboard, I agree to use the Anonta keyboard typing method, thanks.

OK, I'm doing it, but there's a little difficulty I found. In this keyboard, the ​ေ (on the 'a' key) is typed before the letter, so to get ကေ you type "au". Implementing this is possible, but considerably difficult. Is it OK if it's typed after the letter, so that to get ကေ you type "ua"?

I made several keyboards, and I know some things about some Brahmic scripts, but I know almost nothing about the Burmese script, so it's actually possible that I'm missing some more details.

The ကေ typing method is (Key Burmese=ua u+က a+ေ =က + ေ Mon=au a+​ေ က+u ​ေ+က), (Unicode code=က=က ေ=ေ), are there any other requirements?, ask me if you have any further questions, thanks.

 
 
 

Hi,

This is done!

Please check that it works.

You can find the instructions here: mw:Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input methods/mnw-simplified-anonta.

You can also translate the instructions into Mon.

Please let me know whether it works as you expect.

At the moment, this works only on translatewiki. Next week it will also work on the Mon Wikipedia.

Thank you very much, I'm still experimenting, if I find a key error I will reply, I will never forget the gratitude of the teachers who created the Mon keyboard for Mon Wikipedia, I'm very proud to soon have a Mon Keyboard for Mon Wikipedia, with Mon Keyboard for Mon Wikipedia, we can do a lot to improve our Mon literature, Mon Keyboard is the most important resource for Mon Wikipedia, thanks.
