Shift² Keyboard Technology

The Shift² Keyboard Technology has found a way to make multilingual typing as easy as multilingual speaking.

The Shift² Keyboard Technology design added a new set of shift keys (“Shift²”) that makes it possible to access extended characters, combining tonal marks such as accents, sub-dots, and other symbols directly during regular typing.

Whether you’re typing in English, French (Français), or any of the many written Nigerian languages such as: Hausa, Ìgbo, Yorùbá, Ebira, Ẹdo, Fulfulde (Fula), Ibibio, Ẹfịk, Ijọ, Kanuri, Urhobo, Nupe, Igala, Idoma, Isekiri, Anaang, Isoko, Kalabari, Geomai, Dghweɗe, Kun-Ɓíilé and Tiv, just to name a few, all you do is type an alphabet then hit the desired tonal mark key on the keyboard, and violà.

The Shift² Keyboard – Nigeria

Nigeria is a country of about 170 million people, with between 250 and 400 native languages and dialects. These languages largely fall into three main global language groups, Afro- Asiatic, Chadic and Niger-Congo.

All the native languages are typed using the Latin scripts. Nigeria is officially an English-speaking country, but Nigerians have not abandoned their native languages, in fact, Nigerians continue to use their native languages in all naming conventions.

Communicating in my own language is so important.
I don’t have to use a foreign language to communicate with my parents.
They can read and type back in my own language. I don’t need someone to translate English to my language for my parent.
