DLO Keyboard types Sorani Kurdish the way the iPhone keyboard types English: the same key sizes, the same spacing, the same feel — measured against the system keyboard, key for key. WRITING • A full Sorani layout, with ڕ ڵ ێ ۆ ڤ ژ and the letters you actually use • Hold a key for its relatives (ر → ڕ, ی → ێ ي ى) • Word suggestions that learn how you write — and stay on your iPhone • An English row, one swipe on the space bar away • Slide from ١٢٣ onto a symbol and let go — it comes straight back to the letters • Hold the space bar to move the cursor • Two spaces make a full stop EMOJI • A full emoji keyboard, the same size and layout as Apple's • Search emoji by name • Skin tones by holding a face • The flag of Kurdistan, at the top of the flags YOURS ALONE The keyboard has no network code. Nothing you type is collected, kept anywhere else, or sent to anyone. "Allow Full Access" is used only for the vibration, the click sound and your own settings — and the keyboard works without it too. Made by Dlawar Hassan at DLO.IT.
