About this app

The Ktunaxa Keyboard App is an extension of the Android softkeyboard, which uses 3 keyboard views. The “QWERTY” keyboard appears as the standard Android version. However, the “SYMBOL” keyboard offers the characters required to type the Ktunaxa language, including the vowels (a, i, and u), the raised dot (·) used for long vowels, the consonants (k, l, voiceless l, m, n, p, q, s, t, x, w, and h), the x’ (which adds a glottal marker above any consonant), and the gull glottal stop. The “ SYMBOL+SHIFT” keyboard offers numbers (0-9) and standard punctuation and commonly used symbols (+, -, =, <, > , etc.).

The Ktunaxa Keyboard App is based on the Android soft keyboard API 16. It should run on most Android devices with operating systems 4.4 and up (including Jelly Bean, KitKat and Lollypop).

The Ktunaxa Keyboard App was sponsored by the Ktunaxa Nation Council and is free of charge and open source.
