The rules for writing is the same as the windows keyboard.

dot + d = ḍ  for ḍadaṅ

dot+ s = ṣ     for ṣapik, baaṣ

dot +t =ț      for  țok, țiṅan

c + c = ć       for  ćakar

dot +c = c̣    for c̣uk

~  + vowels = ĩ, ã, ũ, õ, ã 

 

Alternatively, you can press and hold for the unique characters to use. 

 

On the recommendation of my little daughter I have also added 4 smileys ( Press and hold the smiley face). This was not initially part of the plan.

 

For IOs users, there is another keyboard in the process or review, once approved it will be shared here.

Key Combinations

            ~   a     ~ e       ~ i       ~ o      ~ u

Please follow the key combinations for the extra Buruśaski characters. Most of the characters will preceed with /dot/, unless the dot has already been used in another rule. Only Ć and Ś have different rule. Ś will be the output of S + H and Ć will be the output of C + C.

In order to write just /sh/, you have to press s +h+h.

Output                      C̣                         Ć                Ġ                    Ḍ                 Ś

            Input  dot + C           C + C   dot + G           dot + D           s + h

Output                      Ṅ                        Ṭ                Ṭ                    Ẓ                  Ṣ

            Input  dot + N           dot + T           dot + Y           dot + Z           dot + S

For capitalization of the characters, use /Shif Key/ and then input the required key combinations.

How do you add voice to words?

The button is in the Home tab in the Voice group in the Ribbon. You will need a microphone, either a headset, earbuds or use the built-in microphone in your device. Then click on the Dictate button in the Ribbon and start talking. Magically your words appear.
