- This is the Papazian Phonetic Keyboard Layout which is the only one
- I have seen. It is very easy to use, and my fonts use it, so I
- am therefore posting it here. (AIM Magazine's font use this
- standard)
-
- Here is the method I will use. I will type the English
- Keyboard's content, then what the Papazian would have
- lowercase, then what Papazian would have upper. I will only
- type one letters name per key, since upper and lower case
- Armenian letters are always on the same key, it is the
- punctuation keys that will have first lower then upper case.
- (I modified the numbers part of the layout a little because
- there were three Armenian characteres on one key which is not
- very possible on an IBM unless you are using Windows, or type
- in nightmarish codes)
-
- ` = ` a very similiar looking punctuation in Armenian and upper
- case has a punctuation that resembles a Spanish tilde.
- 1 = Lower case (lc) a colon, uppercase (uc) a number one.
- 2 = tsa as in tsug
- 3 = hee as in hasmig
- 4 = (lc) ' <-- a diagonal line and (uc) 3
- 5 = (lc) , and (uc) 4
- 6 = (lc) - (uc) 9
- 7 = (lc) . (uc) yev as in the & equivalent.
- 8 = (lc) << (uc) (
- 9 = (lc) >> (uc) )
- 0 = o as in ots (snake)
- - = ra as in Raffi (n_w$$h)
- = = jhe as in jham
- \ = (lc) ' (uc) the snail like thing
- Q = khe
- W = vev
- E = e
- R = re
- T = ta
- Y = yech
- U = 't (uht)
- I = ini
- O = vo
- P = pen
- [ = cha
- ] = che
- A = ayp
- S = se
- D = dun
- F = fe
- G = gen
- H = ho
- J = je
- K = ke
- L = luin
- ; = to
- ' = piur
- Z = za
- X = tso
- C = kim
- V = hiun
- B = be
- N = nu
- M = men
- , = sha
- . = ghad
- / = dza
-
- Note: The Papazian Standard is in Western Armenian as the rest
- of this note. The change over to Eastern should be small.
