fur-language's Introduction

fur-language

Fur language (poór'íŋ belé) [iso 639-3: fvr] resources and computer aids.

Keyboard maps:

Installation:

Windows:

  • Open keyboard/fur_alt_win_installer-01.zip or keyboard/fur_xcv_win_installer-01.zip (depending on which layout you want to install)
  • run setup.exe

Mac OS X:

  • Open keyboard/Fur_mac_poor_in_bele.dmg
  • drag Fur_02.bundle into the folder that appears on the screen to install
  • Note: To remove an old keyboard (e.g. if updating the version of your Fur keyboard) delete the files for the old keyboard in "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/" or "/Library/Keyboard Layouts/" (if installed globally). May require reboot to clear cache.

Linux:

  • TODO!

Orthography:

Basing our keyboard maps on the orthography suggested in the SIL publication Kutsch Lojenga and Waag 2004: "The sounds and tones of Fur" (https://www.sil.org/resources/publications/entry/35935) - this seems to be the accepted orthography in publications in these years at least (2004-2017)


Orthography summery:

Basic latin: c, f, q, x - not used.

Added chars:

ATR+ vowels, nasal consonants

Differences from IPA:

A̲/a̱ Ɨ/ɨ Ʉ/ʉ Ŋ/ŋ NY/ny J/j Y/y
+ + + /ŋ/ /ɲ/ /ɟ/ /j/

a a̱ b (c) d e (f) g h i ɨ j k l m n ŋ ny o p (q) r s t u ʉ v w (x) y z

A A̱ B (C) D E (F) G H I Ɨ J K L M N Ŋ NY O P (Q) R S T U Ʉ V W (X) Y Z

Layouts:

(todo - unicode way to render keyboard layouts?)

Gray-Alt layout:

.. ʉ ɨ a̱ ŋ tone-marks: áâǎ

'xcv' overriding layout (xcvqf) :

QWERTY layout - overriding unused letters in Fur (xcvqf), to Fur letters (a̱ ɨ ʉ ŋ ny).

Fur letters in green, tone marks in pink. Gray-alt + key - provides the original US-qwerty key below it. image of lowercase keymap

The two layouts can actually be installed and used on the same machine, alternating between them when you type in "mostly English" with a few Fur words or vice-versa, or till you see which one suits you better.

MacOS:

Provided. Status bar icon: P'ŋ image icon with transparent bg dark

Language code: 'fvr' (after installing the package - searching for "poor"/"fur"/"fvr" will find the language) Same common layouts. (called 'alt' and 'zxc') image of mac status bar with P'ŋ icon

Bug: Language icon is black, should be 'color reversing' (it's not visible on dark background currently)

Windows:

The provided keyboard, installs the keyboard layouts as "Maori"

Mobile Platforms:

Android:

iOS:

No known keyboard. Keyman - on some settings, should provide something, esp now that Keyman is a SIL project.
