*** New input methods for Northern Iroquoian languages.
|
||||
Input methods are now implemented for Haudenosaunee languages in the
|
||||
Northern Iroquoian language family: 'mohawk-postfix' (Mohawk
|
||||
[Kanien’kéha / Onkwehonwehnéha]), 'oneida-postfix' (Oneida
|
||||
[Onʌyote’a·ká· / Ukwehuwehnéha]), 'cayuga-postfix' (Cayuga
|
||||
[Gayogo̱ho:nǫhnéha:ˀ]), 'onondaga-postfix' (Onondaga [Onųdaʔgegáʔ]), and
|
||||
'seneca-postfix' (Seneca [Onödowá’ga:’]). Additionally, there is a
|
||||
general-purpose 'haudenosaunee-postfix' input method to facilitate
|
||||
writing in the orthographies of the five languages simultaneously.
