8:05p - [Multilingual Monday] Means of Communication
A typewriter for typing the Cherokee language. Today the Cherokee keyboard layout for computers has the same layout.
Today's post is about something that I've always had a fascination about -- how one sends a message in a language that's not Latin-based using some sort of machine, be it a typewriter, a computer, or a cell phone. Nowadays it's easier than ever to display a myriad of characters in a given language using a computer, but of course it's not always been that easy. Below the cut is a brief look at languages adapting with existing technology in order to communicate using their own language.
