African Tone Symbols for Keyboards

✷       Realizing that tones are not always marked for [some] African languages, we propose including them on keyboards only so that they are available for those who may want or need them.

✷       We put this material together for the sole purpose of determining the minimum set of symbols required for keyboards targeted at the country level.

✷       The data follows the format of the 21 country tables presented on the Bisharat website [A12n gateway page] and is drawn [mainly] from the Hartell study [Rhonda L. Hartell, ed. 1993. The Alphabets of Africa. Dakar: UNESCO & SIL].

✷       Since tone data was not available for all of the languages, some comments are added to clarify the source material.

(1)     No tone data available in Hartell study [or not a tonal language – DZO]

(2)     No orthographic material available under this language in the Rosetta Project.
