Northern Sámi keyboard #560

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I'm curious what it takes to get a keyboard added to the keyboard API. If I can 
provide a layout, is it easy to add new ones? The language would be Northern 
Sámi, which is spoken in northern scandinavia by a very technologically able 
and large amount of people.

Not only am I curious about this specific language, but I know quite a number 
of people who are interested in language preservation both in this area on 
other languages, and other areas in the world as well. Depending on how easy it 
is, I can imagine others would want to know, and be able to come forward with 
keyboard layouts to support suggestions.

As for Northern Sámi, the language code is 'sme', and the layout is in the 
link following.

There are other varying standards based on country, but since most NS speakers 
are in Norway, that might be the one to start with. If this isn't enough 
information, I'm happy to provide more.
