Vernacular computing is a blocker for the complete roll out of computers and Internet to the world. Projects like these are welcome patches to fix that issue.<p>Typing on touchscreens can be rethought. Especially when it comes to Indic languages which have about double the number of characters compared to English. We shouldn&#x27;t constrain our minds to think in traditional layouts. Transliteration is a very good idea. But it puts the dependency back on English. We need radicalize the input methods for non-English languages and avoid the dependence of English altogether.<p>സ്വഭാഷ കമ്പ്യൂട്ടിങ്ങ് നീണാല്‍ വാഴട്ടെ (Malayalam for: &quot;vernacular computing, ftw!&quot;)

This keyboard supports even more indian languages !! Also, checkout <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;indicproject.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;indicproject.org&#x2F;</a> (the initiative that made this app)

My favorite app just became more awesome by supporting more languages and layouts.. It also satisfied many of the wishlists.. Well done developers..
