The Shan Standard Keyboard (လွၵ်းမိုဝ်းလိၵ်ႈတႆး) is designed to input text in the Shan language using a standard keyboard layout as specified by SIIT. The keyboard layout follows the official Shan script for easy typing and is fully compatible with the Universal Language Selector in Wikimedia projects.
This keyboard maps Shan characters and punctuation to specific keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Here is how to type various letters and symbols using the Shan Standard Keyboard.
