Quyana!

This app makes it so much easier to use different variations of letters for different northern tribes. The keyboard is slightly slow and sometimes when you press a key it does not register. It is so refreshing to be able to have the variations at hand instead of copying and pasting from somewhere else.

Wonderful. Having underlined consonants available makes typing in Łingít easier. AND the English spellchecker goes away too.

Install It Once, Done!

Chert is not a typical app. Some people might find that confusing at first. You install the app, then you install the Chert keyboard in your iPhone's Setup section. You only do that once. From then on, the Chert keyboard is available in any app that supports a keyboard.
