An attempt to create simpler keyboards for Devanagari and possibly other Indian scripts in an effort to increase digital literacy among non-English speaking Indians. At the moment this project contains:

• Barakunji (बारहकुंजी, lit. 12 keys, name subject to change) - A mobile keyboard layout based upon the Devanagari varnamala's (alphabet) clustering of syllables. Intended to be usable by anyone who knows the varnamala.

The overall project is named "Saral" (सरल) which means "simple" in Hindi, in reference to the goal of creating simpler and easy-to-use keyboard layouts for Indian scripts.

Barakunji depends upon flick and multitap functionality which is only availble in Keyman 17.0 and above.

• Download a Keyman version >=17.0 from https://keyman.com/downloads/.

• Then, download the latest .kmp file from the releases page.

• Follow the instructions for iOS or Android to set up the keyboard on your mobile device.

• You should be good to go!

I will eventually submit the keyboard to the Keyman Cloud Keyboard Repository, which will make it available for download from the Keyman app itself. (maybe even a stabdalone Android/iOS app once SIL's Keyboard App Builder is updated to support KM17 :) )
