## What is PLKeyboard?

PLKeyboard is a Unicode keyboard for Southeast Asian scripts that are often underserved by other keyboards. Type naturally in Shan, Burmese, Khmer, and many Tai-family languages — all from one keyboard.

KEYBOARD LAYOUTS
Switch between layouts with a single tap on the in-keyboard globe key:

1) PangLong (Shan)
2) Shan (SIL)
3) Burmese
4) Khamti
5) Tai Le
6) Tai Ahom
7) Tai Lue — with native digits
8) Tai Dam
9) Sgaw Karen
10) Pa-Oh
11) Khmer
12) Mon
13) Lao

You choose which layouts appear in your rotation, so the globe key only cycles through the ones you use.
TYPING FEATURES

- Word suggestions for Shan and Burmese with an on-device dictionary
- Handwriting-style input: type prefix vowels in natural order and the keyboard arranges them correctly
- Double-tap a vowel key for its alternate form, smart typing
- Native digit rows for scripts that use their own numerals

APPEARANCE

- System Default keeps the familiar iOS keyboard look
- Color themes including Gold, Midnight Blue, and Forest Green
- A custom color builder to design your own theme

PRIVACY

PLKeyboard is an open-source project, built on the MIT-licensed ShanKeyboard, and made for communities whose scripts deserve first-class keyboard support on iOS.
