Ethiopic (Modern Geʾez) Keyboard
================================

Copyright © 2023 Geʾez Frontier Foundation

Version 1.0

This is a language-neutral keyboard for the “Ethiopic” script that applies mnemonic approach ty typing all 523 letters, punctuation and numerals specified in the Unicode Standard. It requires a font supporting Ethiopic script under the Unicode 14 standard. The OpenSoure [Abyssinica SIL](https://software.sil.org/abyssinica/) font is provided with this package and supports all 523 standard symbols, plus an addition 59 “alternative” letter shapes that are important to manuscript studies.

The [PDF Manual](source/EthiopicTyping-English.pdf) included with the keyboard package reviews how to access all symbols via typing and font selection.

Modern & Legacy Geʾez
=========================
The languages of Ethiopian and Eritrea that use the Geʾez script have many additions. The languages also use the same letters but sometimes with different sounds. A number of letters that were in use by a language for a short time were also abandoned. The keyboard package groups letters currently in use as the “Modern Geʾez Syllabary”, and letters formerly in use as the “Legacy Geʾez Syllabary”. The letters in use are given the higher priority and are a little easier to type and enter on touchscreen layouts.
