Brhkbd keyboard

Brhkbd keyboard is an alternative solution to phonetic typing of Indian language text.

Brhkbd features:

For ease of remembrance, the Indian language vowels and consonants are mapped to the phonetically similar English keys as much as possible.

The 'a' matra is implicit in the consonants. The

key should be used explicitly to add the halant symbol.

The independent vowel (swara) and the corresponding dependent vowel (matra) use the same key. The same key produces either one of them depending on the context.

All the punctuations keys produces the same punctuations for Indian languages too.

Most of the symbol keys produce the same symbols in Indian langauges too.

The nukta key (extension key)

is used for the nukta consonants and to produce the "not so commonly used" characters.

The asciicircum key

is used for the ZWNJ (Zero Width Non Joiner). The ampersand key

is used for the ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner).
