As well, the need of at least seven diacritics may cause complications to design easy keyboard layouts, even if they use <a href="/wiki/Dead_keys" class="mw-redirect" title="Dead keys">dead keys</a> and even if not all basic Latin letters are needed for Mizo itself, and so publications may represent the short tones using digrams (e.g. by appending some apostrophe or glottal letter) to reduce the number of diacritics needed to only four (those used now for the long tones) on only two dead keys. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Grammar">Grammar</h2><span
