I just want to mention how impressed I am at the fact that he pronounced (qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm) as a word. I wonder how many tries it took to pronounce that.(0:25)
For anyone wondering, at 2:15 its a tale about Astfolo in Hungarian, but it was made using Google translate, so I cant really understand what its trying to say.
"The approach taken by the Korean language was to immediately give up." Wise choice. It takes courage to give up something that have been used for thousands of year.
True, I didn't even know that there are seperate keys in it for typing freaking żołądź - it seems so inconvinient not to have immidiete access to all the punctuation symbols
@@NTFive I think it’s all about preference. In unikey, you type the Roman characters like normal, but use the number keys to add diacritics instead. It’s a bit more intuitive to many. Edit: wrote unicode instead of unikey. That made no sense whatsoever
I am impressed that Changjie (ChongKit) got mentioned!! It is usually overlooked when all Mandarin speakers use pinyin or 注音. I want to add that the way why traditional Chinese dictionary sort the words into strokes and radicals instead of phonetics is because Mandarin was not a well spread tongue back then. People speaks Hakka, Shanghainese, Hokkien, Teochew, etc. across the region. So using one's phonetics in a dictionary as reference will render it useless to other Chinese users who speaks differently.
2:48 Sometimes dead keys can be used to straight up modify the character itself instead of just adding a diacritic. For example: त + ्(Dead key) + र = त्र श + ् + र = श्र ज + ् + ञ = ज्ञ And you can also combine two characters using the dead key too ह + ् + ल = ह्ल ङ + ् + म = ङ्म
@@angeldude101 yes, but while devnagri is overcomplicated, it makes sense. For instance ह pronounced like huh and ल is pronounced like lu in luck. so ह्ल is pronounced hla. I don't know anyone who actually uses inscript(the keyboard layout that directly types devnagri). Almost everyone types in latin alphabet and your os or gboard will do its thing. Or you directly type in latin. Internally, ् is a zero width joiner when not on its own.
Regarding the unused Polish 214 keyboard - Turkish and Latvian actually have their own local layouts with dedicated keys for accented letters. Some polish people have actually pointed out how having buttons like q/v/x is pretty weird for writing in Polish (conventional shortcuts like cut/paste being by far the biggest use for them) and I've seen one or two proposed variants made, but those were mostly enthusiasts making things that never caught on and I REALLY had to dig through Google back when I was into keyboard layouts to find any of them. Nowhere near as well-documented as dvorak or the french BÉPO.
I will mention something as a Latvian, though - no one knows or uses that local layout just like with the Polish 214. I don't know what kind of psychopath you'd need to be to use it.
That's actually what the Serbian cyrillic keyboard did. Since it has more letters than the latin alphabet and no use for the W, Q and X keys it replaced them with Cyrillic letters and then replaced / : and some other keys with even more letters. The latin alphabet has a lot of digraphs so it only added letters without throwing out Q, X and W tho
adding to the commenter about latvian: everyone just uses the apostrophe key as a dead key to use the special letters. as they are all on a qwerty keyboard already, for example a -> ā, e -> ē, it makes much more sense to use a familiar and more internationally used layout.

Why not just use US International tho, you can write all the special characters necessary in any of the Romantic or Germanic languages... US INTL is probably #1 in polyglot crowds because it has almost everything you need. Only notable exception would be characters with a caron necessary for writing slavic, turkic and iranic languages in Latin script, but for anything in NW Europe it's basically perfect. It also lacks more specialized vowel characters used in the IPA and Turkic languages, such as ə, ı, etc...
@@reivos3820 even better: French Canadian keyboard. It might take getting used to for English speakers but you can write in so many language very easily with this one, I as a French speaker use it on a daily basis and find it a lot better than the English us or English Canada. (Don't take my advice I am in no way qualified do whatever you want)
As a french who learned to type on an American qwerty in a US school, I now use the Canadian multilingual as it’s the most convenient for me to type in French and English. Only annoyance are the []{} when coding as they require the altgr key
Amazing choice of an example for diacritics at 2:39 with décérébélé (defined as _Extremely rare_ - person whose cerebellum has been removed). Good luck trying to get a French reader to understand this word if you type it decerebele without any diacritics, now it just sounds like the name of a ski resort.
as a French reader, I never saw décérébélé before now lol, but décérébré (someone without a brain/that has had his brain removed, often used as a fancy word for r*tarded) is somewhat common
I've never seen anyone use Polish (Standard) layout The layout was only popular on typewriters IIRC on PC everyone (or at least 99%) use the programmer layout
true. this is my first time seeing a "standard" polish keyboard. it's pretty pointless since when chatting people mostly just ignore the diacritics, for example writing 'przejsc' instead of 'przejść', and having to use alt gr for formal stuff isn't that annoying anyway, everyone here's just used to it.
More useless trivia: Windows XP* had both enabled by default for Polish configurations, often leading to confusion when a user unintentionally switched to 214 with the Ctrl+Shift shortcut. *It could've been the case on Vista and/or 7, but I haven't checked. 10 properly defaults to programmer's only
@@34disorder84 Oof, this isn't the case with Hungarian. Although we are lucky to have single-key access to both letters with diacritics and common punctuation marks. And since Hungarian keyboards are common (membrane keyboards not necessarily mechanical ones), people expect others to write using the proper diacritics. Even on phones, there is a clash between users who use diacritics and who skip the effort of long presses, because soft keyboards use a simplified QWERTZ layout.
Ah yes the standard polish keyboard, standard way to use it is to randomly type out a few characters until you notice you are using it, so you can change to the programmer's
I don't think this would work for languages that have pictogramas represented by the same sound, but for Russian one of my absolute favorite layouts is the phonetic layout. Basically all consonants are mapped to Latin equivalents, and if there isn't one it uses the shape of the letter, such as with x being ж (zh), since the russian х (h) is already being used for h. This also uses modifiers really intuitively, as for the letter я (ya), you use y+a or j+a. However, there are limitations because of the language itself; ы (ih/y), и (ee), and й (ending "y" like way) all sound similar, and a foreigner would use the letters i or y for them, but both i and y become modifiers. Similarly, "s" is very problematic, being the following: s+s or s+space = с (s), s+h = ш (sh), s+c+h = щ (sch), t+s or c+s = ц (ts). There are 2 non-pronounced letters in Russian, ь and ъ, which are usually translated as an apostrophe to show a change in pronunciation. For this reason, they are mapped to '/". This system works, however, since to say "a beautiful plaza", I would type krasivaya ploschad', and this would directly translate to красивая площадь, without me having to know any new layouts. This can be inconvenient, but it's the most intuitive layout I've ever seen because as long as you have Latin equivalents and specific phonemes rather than glyphs, it is by far the most convenient way to type any language, and it solves the problems of too many keys.
This was actually super helpful for me ^^ I've been developing an Idle game based around pressing diffrent keys on a keyboard and I was just about to start looking up how diffrent keyboards worked in diffrent languages!
@Fink you shouldn't care about different languages. All you need to do is used scan codes. As he said in the video, all a keyboard sends is a scan code, which is independent of the layout. The keyboard itself doesn't even know the layout, it only cares about scan codes. ... so a game where you move with WASD, you shouldn't look for keys WASD, or adapt it to French ZQSD, or Dvorak ,AOE, because regardless of layout, these keys will always be 11 1E 1F 20. So to move forward, look for scan code 11, and then it doesn't matter if this is W, Z, Ц, ص, or anything else, because it will always be scan code 11.
@@xXJ4FARGAMERXx yeah, as non-English speaker it can be confusing to see 7 different methods to say one word, and 5 for the sound “e” or it’s “i” sound?.. “ee”? “ea”????
@@whitestripe484 The Latin alphabet was never made for English and frankly even if it were we’d still have problems because English vowels are _the worst_
for anyone wondering what 뷁 at 8:07 means, it is an internet meme / slang that doesn't really convey any meaning besides subtle negativity. It came from the English word 'break', which when correctly written in Hangul looks like '브레이크'. It became a meme when a singer sang the word 'break' too fast and sounded like 뷁 (pronounced 'bwek'). BTW, there are some legit Korean words with characters that has more than three letters. 삵 (leopard cat), 칡 (kudzu / arrowroot), 싫다 (to dislike), 밟다 (to step on) to name a few.
As a polish person, I have not seen anyone that uses the polish (214) layout, almost everyone uses the "programmers" layout here, even though it is less efficient if you just type in polish, its a lot less frustrating if you are typing in any other language, and particularly in english. And I think if you want to type fast on a layout with special letters, a split keyboard REALLY helps in my opinion. Thats because you are able to remap the very awkward to reach altgr key to your left or right space key since now you have two, and its basically just like pressing shift to make capitals, really not a huge speed penalty and more flexibility when not typing in polish.
this was a beautifully made video, somehow keeping everything simple and easy to understand whilst also talking about everything from how a typewriter works to the inner workings of various different languages, while keeping everything fun and interesting to watch! definitely one of the greatest smaller channels that i've seen, you deserve more subscribers.
"It's not like you're actually gonna use Dvorak" I switched to colemak around a month ago and it's been *very* worthwhile. The sheer comfort and efficiency of this layout has improved my workflow drastically as well!
This is the first video from this channel that ive watched and im blown away at how much i learned and how entertaining it was at the same time. Very good 👍
I was surprised that a Polish standard keyboard exists, as no one uses it here Programmer's is the standard and i never felt like adding diacritics was a hassle I guess it's just something that all of us got used to and it isn't a burden
One big advantage of Cangjie is that even though it has a learning curve, a unique string of keystrokes only corresponds to one character most of the time so it saves a lot of time needing to read the character candidate list and choosing a character from it.
I wanna learn cangjie to type traditional characters more easily instead of using finnicky phonetic systems like Jyutping but it’s hard because I don’t even have key caps marked with the symbols.
@@PatheticTV Most keyboards in HK also don't have Cangjie symbols printed on them. You can just print a cheatsheet and stick it near your computer if you think it'll help you.
As an ex-programmer who is native English but uses a JIS keyboard every day of my life in Japan, I really appreciate how well you conveyed all of this to viewers, that your pronunciation of foriegn words was SO correct, and your little summary of Japanese issues at @8:41 is so information dense while being approachable for those outside of the language. So good. Chef's kiss.
5:55 I'm from the Czech Republic and we have another way to do it, the numbers at the top of the keyboard aren't really numbers, but letters like this ěščřžýáíé
I'm American but I learned to type on a Swedish keyboard, so I just have my laptop set to Swedish. But I always forget to tell people, so every time someone uses my computer I watch them go through the five stages of grief when they keep pressing punctuation keys and every single one is wrong.
Great video, and several good points. I've read some blog post complaining that some languages have additional letters, and that these letters should just be typed with dead-keys instead. I think that's a horrible idea, since you'll have to press two keys for one key. Even more annoying if you need to press shift for the dead key bot not the letter, or only pressing shift for the letter. I do still believe using Alt Gr for typing additional letters is a clever idea, since it's a key you hold, not a key you press in advance. It's still a combo key, but it's not much different from typing with Shift. I have a custom layout with Alt Gr for ´ letters, and then Å Ä Ö Ü for Swedish and German, and holding Alt Gr even gives me Hungarian Ő Ű. Easy to type with, but access to loads of languages without switching layout.
9:18 the beauty of that drum design was that character placards could be swapped out, the rows of characters are actually the heads for the characters (Well, the ones a few rows ahead, so you could see which character was being loaded.
15:50 Typing a single word with Cangjie (Chongkit) still feels like using a combo attack! But it comes very naturally without thinking for experienced users. For beginners, there's a simpler method called Quick (CukSing). In Chongkit, a word can include 1-5 parts. For example, "本" is divided into "木" (D) and "一" (M), so we just type in D->M on our regular QWERT keyboard. But for more complicated characters, like "語" is divided into 5 parts: 卜口一一口, so the typing sequence is Y->R->M->M->R. When you use Quick, you only need to input the first and the last key: Y->R, and you can choose from a list of predicted words. It's less efficient but easier to use. Other popular input methods in Hong Kong include: the Mandarin PinYin, Stroke (dividing a word into strokes like Cangjie, but only using 6 keys, like "土" is divided into "一"->"丨"->"一") and simply hardwriting or voice input. I've never thought about how bizarre inputting Chinese can look to other people! This is a very fun video to watch, and I love your sense of humor. Thank you for the hard work (辛苦曬)!

This is really complete. Just to add, like in Cangjie, there's WuBi ZiXing. In short it is basically a Cangjie but for China Mainland per se; in long, the qwerty layout stays, but you need to learn that the keys stores some shapes of the Hanzi or chinese characters. For example to type the infamous 你好，you need to type wq (represents person 人 and 金）and vb (that is 女 and 子). If you0re interested, there's a wiki article about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_method and nowadays this IME supports both WuBi and PinYin at the same time (when you input the pinyin phonetic, it shows you the "code" to type it in WuBi).

I am impressed that Changjie (ChongKit) got mentioned!! It is usually overlooked when all Mandarin speakers use pinyin or 注音. I want to add that the way why traditional Chinese dictionary sort the words into strokes and radicals instead of phonetics is because Mandarin was not a well spread tongue back then. People speaks Hakka, Shanghainese, Hokkien, Teochew, etc. across the region. So using one's phonetics in a dictionary as reference will render it useless to other Chinese users who speaks differently.
There is a Cantonese Pinyin and most dialects have their own pinyin systems.
2:48 Sometimes dead keys can be used to straight up modify the character itself instead of just adding a diacritic. For example:
त + ्(Dead key) + र = त्र
श + ् + र = श्र
ज + ् + ञ = ज्ञ
And you can also combine two characters using the dead key too
ह + ् + ल = ह्ल
ङ + ् + म = ङ्म

Regarding the unused Polish 214 keyboard - Turkish and Latvian actually have their own local layouts with dedicated keys for accented letters. Some polish people have actually pointed out how having buttons like q/v/x is pretty weird for writing in Polish (conventional shortcuts like cut/paste being by far the biggest use for them) and I've seen one or two proposed variants made, but those were mostly enthusiasts making things that never caught on and I REALLY had to dig through Google back when I was into keyboard layouts to find any of them. Nowhere near as well-documented as dvorak or the french BÉPO.
I will mention something as a Latvian, though - no one knows or uses that local layout just like with the Polish 214. I don't know what kind of psychopath you'd need to be to use it.
That's actually what the Serbian cyrillic keyboard did. Since it has more letters than the latin alphabet and no use for the W, Q and X keys it replaced them with Cyrillic letters and then replaced / : and some other keys with even more letters.
The latin alphabet has a lot of digraphs so it only added letters without throwing out Q, X and W tho
graf podpiszesz mi dziecko
@@MinMinn192 exactly
adding to the commenter about latvian: everyone just uses the apostrophe key as a dead key to use the special letters. as they are all on a qwerty keyboard already, for example a -> ā, e -> ē, it makes much more sense to use a familiar and more internationally used layout.

I've never seen anyone use Polish (Standard) layout
The layout was only popular on typewriters IIRC
on PC everyone (or at least 99%) use the programmer layout
also useless trivia: the "standard" one is called 214
true. this is my first time seeing a "standard" polish keyboard. it's pretty pointless since when chatting people mostly just ignore the diacritics, for example writing 'przejsc' instead of 'przejść', and having to use alt gr for formal stuff isn't that annoying anyway, everyone here's just used to it.
More useless trivia: Windows XP* had both enabled by default for Polish configurations, often leading to confusion when a user unintentionally switched to 214 with the Ctrl+Shift shortcut.
*It could've been the case on Vista and/or 7, but I haven't checked. 10 properly defaults to programmer's only
@@Kris-od3sj I remember it happening with windows 7
@@34disorder84 Oof, this isn't the case with Hungarian. Although we are lucky to have single-key access to both letters with diacritics and common punctuation marks. And since Hungarian keyboards are common (membrane keyboards not necessarily mechanical ones), people expect others to write using the proper diacritics. Even on phones, there is a clash between users who use diacritics and who skip the effort of long presses, because soft keyboards use a simplified QWERTZ layout.
Ah yes the standard polish keyboard, standard way to use it is to randomly type out a few characters until you notice you are using it, so you can change to the programmer's
Tato! Znowu pojawia się Y, gdy wciskam Z!
I don't think this would work for languages that have pictogramas represented by the same sound, but for Russian one of my absolute favorite layouts is the phonetic layout. Basically all consonants are mapped to Latin equivalents, and if there isn't one it uses the shape of the letter, such as with x being ж (zh), since the russian х (h) is already being used for h. This also uses modifiers really intuitively, as for the letter я (ya), you use y+a or j+a. However, there are limitations because of the language itself; ы (ih/y), и (ee), and й (ending "y" like way) all sound similar, and a foreigner would use the letters i or y for them, but both i and y become modifiers. Similarly, "s" is very problematic, being the following: s+s or s+space = с (s), s+h = ш (sh), s+c+h = щ (sch), t+s or c+s = ц (ts). There are 2 non-pronounced letters in Russian, ь and ъ, which are usually translated as an apostrophe to show a change in pronunciation. For this reason, they are mapped to '/". This system works, however, since to say "a beautiful plaza", I would type krasivaya ploschad', and this would directly translate to красивая площадь, without me having to know any new layouts.
This can be inconvenient, but it's the most intuitive layout I've ever seen because as long as you have Latin equivalents and specific phonemes rather than glyphs, it is by far the most convenient way to type any language, and it solves the problems of too many keys.
This was actually super helpful for me ^^

@Fink you shouldn't care about different languages. All you need to do is used scan codes. As he said in the video, all a keyboard sends is a scan code, which is independent of the layout. The keyboard itself doesn't even know the layout, it only cares about scan codes. ... so a game where you move with WASD, you shouldn't look for keys WASD, or adapt it to French ZQSD, or Dvorak ,AOE, because regardless of layout, these keys will always be 11 1E 1F 20. So to move forward, look for scan code 11, and then it doesn't matter if this is W, Z, Ц, ص, or anything else, because it will always be scan code 11.

Step 1.
Use vowel language OR vowel transcription of the symbolic language

As a polish person, I have not seen anyone that uses the polish (214) layout, almost everyone uses the "programmers" layout here, even though it is less efficient if you just type in polish, its a lot less frustrating if you are typing in any other language, and particularly in english. And I think if you want to type fast on a layout with special letters, a split keyboard REALLY helps in my opinion. Thats because you are able to remap the very awkward to reach altgr key to your left or right space key since now you have two, and its basically just like pressing shift to make capitals, really not a huge speed penalty and more flexibility when not typing in polish.

Great video, and several good points. I've read some blog post complaining that some languages have additional letters, and that these letters should just be typed with dead-keys instead. I think that's a horrible idea, since you'll have to press two keys for one key. Even more annoying if you need to press shift for the dead key bot not the letter, or only pressing shift for the letter. I do still believe using Alt Gr for typing additional letters is a clever idea, since it's a key you hold, not a key you press in advance. It's still a combo key, but it's not much different from typing with Shift. I have a custom layout with Alt Gr for ´ letters, and then Å Ä Ö Ü for Swedish and German, and holding Alt Gr even gives me Hungarian Ő Ű. Easy to type with, but access to loads of languages without switching layout.
I have a custom layout with AltGr for Russian -- on the base of Polish sounds/diacritics and Russian 'soft' vowels , e.g. [ё] = AltGr+[о] (jo

9:18 the beauty of that drum design was that character placards could be swapped out, the rows of characters are actually the heads for the characters (Well, the ones a few rows ahead, so you could see which character was being loaded.
15:50 Typing a single word with Cangjie (Chongkit) still feels like using a combo attack! But it comes very naturally without thinking for experienced users. For beginners, there's a simpler method called Quick (CukSing).
In Chongkit, a word can include 1-5 parts. For example, "本" is divided into "木" (D) and "一" (M), so we just type in D->M on our regular QWERT keyboard.
But for more complicated characters, like "語" is divided into 5 parts: 卜口一一口, so the typing sequence is Y->R->M->M->R. When you use Quick, you only need to input the first and the last key: Y->R, and you can choose from a list of predicted words. It's less efficient but easier to use.
Other popular input methods in Hong Kong include: the Mandarin PinYin, Stroke (dividing a word into strokes like Cangjie, but only using 6 keys, like "土" is divided into "一"->"丨"->"一") and simply hardwriting or voice input.
I've never thought about how bizarre inputting Chinese can look to other people! This is a very fun video to watch, and I love your sense of humor. Thank you for the hard work (辛苦曬)!

This is really complete. Just to add, like in Cangjie, there's WuBi ZiXing. In short it is basically a Cangjie but for China Mainland per se; in long, the qwerty layout stays, but you need to learn that the keys stores some shapes of the Hanzi or chinese characters. For example to type the infamous 你好，you need to type wq (represents person 人 and 金）and vb (that is 女 and 子). If you0re interested, there's a wiki article about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_method and nowadays this IME supports both WuBi and PinYin at the same time (when you input the pinyin phonetic, it shows you the "code" to type it in WuBi). It's kinda interesting
