The idea of this project is to create a keyboard that support Tamazight langauge with the kabyle letters that Mouloud Mameri invented the previous centuary.
There are two types of keyoards in this project :
-1- CustomKeyboard : to write in kabyle using the prephirical keyboard.
-1- On-Screen-keyboard : GUI keyboard that works like the original on-screen-keyboard of windows, but to write kabyle Tamazight letters.
The Kabyle language uses the following Latin-based characters (including additional letters for specific sounds):
- Vowels: a, e, i, u
- Consonants: b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
- Additional letters for native sounds:
- ɣ (voiced uvular fricative)
- ḥ (voiceless pharyngeal fricative)
- ṛ (retroflex r)
- ṣ (emphatic s)
- ṭ (emphatic t)
- ẓ (emphatic z)
- ɛ (voiced pharyngeal fricative)
- ḍ (emphatic voiced alveolar stop / pharyngealized d)
- ǧ (voiced postalveolar affricate)
- č (voiceless postalveolar affricate)
This set covers all letters used to write modern Kabyle in Latin script.
- How to handle with keyboard and plyer library.
- Reminder about tkinter (It's been a long time since I have used it lst time before this project)
- New knowledge about Tamazight language.
- The project isn't perfect, and as non-tamazight speaker, you may find some issues or you see some changes should be added in the project to present better the culture of the speakers of this langauge.
- I distributed the Tamazight letters in keyboard according to specificvision I saw, if you have another formal way to ditribute it, fork the project and edit it, I will be happy to see your contribution.
- You will clearly notice that the On-screen-keyboard doesn't work 100% effective, it should writes in the previous focused slot not in an Entry slot in the GUI itself, I tried to do that but I didn't know/find how, So I invite you to add this feauture.
