Chert Alaskas Native Language Keyboard
Chert is a third-party keyboard designed specifically for iPhone users who want to type in Alaska's Native languages. This utility and tools application allows you to send emails, text messages, post on Facebook, or tweet in any of the 20 Native languages spoken in Alaska.
One of the main advantages of Chert is that it provides access to special characters that are not available on Apple's default keyboards. These characters are crucial for accurately representing the Native languages of Alaska. With Chert, you can customize your keyboard by enabling only the special characters you need for the languages you use.
To type these special characters, Chert uses the same press-and-hold method that Apple's default keyboard uses for characters like é and ü. This means that you can seamlessly switch between English and the Native languages without having to switch keyboards.
Chert includes all the special characters present in Alaska's Native languages, ensuring that you have the necessary tools to communicate effectively in these languages.
It's worth mentioning that Chert is a free application developed by Grant Magdanz. The app is a testament to the dedication and effort put into preserving and promoting Alaska's Native languages.
Lastly, Chert acknowledges the contributions of Alexei Baboulevitch (Archagon) for creating an open-source keyboard that serves as the foundation for Chert's functionality. The icons used on the tab bar are provided by icons8 for free.
