Clavier Asawan: A Keyboard for Writing in Bambara and Soninké
Clavier Asawan is an Android app that allows you to write in Bambara and Soninké languages, which are spoken in several African countries. Unlike other keyboards, this app includes letters such as ɲ, ŋ, ε, and ɔ, which are essential for writing in these languages. Additionally, the app includes letters ɩ and ʋ as an extra feature.
The installation process is simple, but the app requires access to your device's keyboard settings. Once installed, you need to activate the Clavier Android Asawan keyboard in the "Language and Input" section of your device's settings. The app does not collect any data, so you can use it without any concerns.
When you want to write a message, the keyboard will appear as a standard AZERTY keyboard. However, by long-pressing some letters, you can access the additional characters. For example, long-pressing the letter "e" will allow you to select "ε," and long-pressing the letter "o" will let you select "ɔ." Overall, Clavier Asawan is a useful tool for those who need to write in Bambara and Soninké languages and want to avoid using codes to represent specific characters.
