(East) Keyboard Help</h1> <section id='overview'> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>This keyboard is designed for the East Cree syllabic script used in Northwestern Quebec, Canada. The keyboard has been developed to make it easy to type all of the symbols necessary for East Cree. This keyboard is fully compliant with the <a href='http://unicode.org/standard/standard.html'>Unicode Standard</a>.</p> <div class="msg-important"> <p><b>Important Notice:</b> The default for this keyboard is for characters to be composed. For example, this sequence "wa" would produce ᐗ (U+1417).</p> <p>You can change the keyboard to produce decomposed characters in two ways. The preferred method is to use <b>Keyman → Configuration</b>.</p> <ol> <li><b>Using Keyman Configuration</b>: On Windows or Linux, go to <b>Keyman → Configuration → Keyboard Layouts → BJCreenUNI (east) → Keyboard Options</b> and choose <b>Decomposed</b>. You may need to close and reopen your input application and keyboard, before the default behavior changes. This method will change your default to <i>Decomposed</i> and everytime you switch to this keyboard it will remain using the <i>Decomposed</i> style until you change it back to <i>Composed</i> style using <b>Keyman configuration</b>.</li> <li><b>Using RALT hotkeys</b> (primarily needed for macOS): It is also possible to switch from <i>Composed</i> to <i>Decomposed</i> using the RALT HYPHEN sequence (RALT+-). Switch back to <i>Composed</i> using the RALT EQUAL sequence (RALT+=). This method will change to <i>Decomposed</i> during just this session of using the keyboard. After you stop using the keyboard it will return to <i>Composed</i>.</li> </ol> </div> <h4>Basic Function</h4> <p>This keyboard is phonetic. The basic consonant+vowel syllabic characters are formed as a result of pressing the equivalent Latin letters. For example, type <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>a</kbd> to get <samp>ᓇ</samp>, and type <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>i</kbd> to get <samp>ᓂ</samp>. Type the vowel a second time to get the dot over the character for "long" syllables: <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>i</kbd><kbd>i</kbd> to get <samp>ᓃ</samp>. For a consonant alone (finals) simply type the consonant not followed by a vowel: type <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>i</kbd><kbd>i</kbd><kbd>n</kbd> to get <samp>ᓃᓐ</samp>. Finally, the "w" dot (mid-dot) is formed by typing the <kbd>w</kbd> key between the consonant and vowel: type <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>w</kbd><kbd>a</kbd> to get <samp>ᐧᓇ</samp> and <kbd>n</kbd><kbd>w</kbd><kbd>a</kbd><kbd>a</kbd> to get <samp>ᐧᓈ</samp>. <h4>On Screen Keyboard</h4> <p>The On Screen Keyboard view for this keyboard is simply a QWERTY US layout, since the keyboard equivalents are designed to match the Latin characters standard East Cree syllabic chart.</p> <h4>Fonts</h4> <p>This keyboard installs with the Unicode Aboriginal Syllabic font <b>BJCree UNI</b>, which offers full support for the characters in East Cree and other related languages.</p> <aside class='break'> </section> <section id='layout' class='break'> <div id='osk-container'> <h2>Desktop Keyboard Layout</h2> <div id='osk' data-states='default shift'></div> </div> </section> <section id='guide' class='break'> <h2>Typing Guide</h2> <p>This typing guide is based on the standard East Cree syllabic chart.</p> <table class='grid colleft'> <tr> <th width="50"></th> <th width="50"></th> <th width="50"></th> <th width="50"></th> <th width="50"></th> <th width="50"></th> </tr> <tbody> <tr> <th> </th> <th> e </th> <th>i/ii</th> <th>o/oo</th> <th>a/aa</th> <th>finals</th> </tr> <tr> <th> </th> <th><span class="cree">ᐁ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐃ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐅ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐊ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐤ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>w</th> <th><span class="cree">ᐧᐁ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐧᐃ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐧᐅ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐧᐊ</span></th> <th></th> </tr> <tr> <th>p</th> <th><span class="cree">ᐯ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐱ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐳ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᐸ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑉ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>t</th> <th><span class="cree">ᑌ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑎ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑐ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑕ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑦ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>k</th> <th><span class="cree">ᑫ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑭ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑯ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᑲ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒃ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>ch</th> <th><span class="cree">ᒉ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒋ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒍ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒐ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒡ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>m</th> <th><span class="cree">ᒣ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒥ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒧ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒪ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᒻ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>n</th> <th><span class="cree">ᓀ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓂ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓄ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓇ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓐ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>s</th> <th><span class="cree">ᓭ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓯ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓱ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓴ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔅ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>sh</th> <th><span class="cree">ᔐ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔑ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔓ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔕ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔥ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>y</th> <th><span class="cree">ᔦ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔨ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔪ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔭ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᔾ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>r</th> <th><span class="cree">ᕃ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕆ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕈ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕋ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕐ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>l</th> <th><span class="cree">ᓓ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓕ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓗ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓚ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᓪ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>f</th> <th><span class="cree">ᕓ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕕ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕗ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕙ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕝ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th>th</th> <th><span class="cree">ᕞ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕠ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕤ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕦ</span></th> <th><span class="cree">ᕪ</span></th> </tr> <tr> <th> </th> <th>(h)<span class="cree"> ᐦ </span></th> <th>(l)<span class="cree"> ᓬ </span></th> <th>(r)<span class="cree"> ᕒ </span></th> <th> </th> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>A dot in <i>front</i> of any character puts a "w" after the <i>first</i> letter, like this:</br> <span class="cree">ᒪ</span> = ma, <span class="cree">ᐧᒪ</span> = mwa, <span class="cree">ᐧᒫ</span> = mwaa</br> <span class="cree">᙭</span> = Christ, <span class="cree">᙮ </span>= .
