+# Yiddish QWERTZ Keyboard for the Mac
+
+This is a phonetic Yiddish keyboard layout for the Macs with a QWERTZ physical keyboard. It is based on the [Yiddish Klal](https://www.isaacbleaman.com/resources/yiddish_typing/), created by Isaac L. Bleaman.
+
+QWERTY is the standard keyboard layout in English-speaking and many other countries, whereas QWERTZ prevails in German-speaking and some other European countries.
+
+Our version of the Yiddish keyboard layout makes it easier to type Yiddish for anybody who is used to German keyboards. Not only is Z next to T and Y next to X, but punctuation marks and various symbols are also where you'd expect them to be.
+
+Other than that, the Yiddish layout follows the principles of the above-mentioned Yiddish Klal, i.e.:
+
+- Typing `a` will yield a _pasekh alef_, אַ
+- `o` will yield a _komets alef_, אָ
+- `e` will yield an _ayen_, ע
+- `v` will yield _tsvey vovn_, װ (which Unicode treats a single character)
+- `p` will yield a _pey_, פּ
+- `f` will yield a _fey_, פֿ
+- …, etc.
+
+To type the final letters, hold
+
+- `F` will yield a _langer fey_, ף
+- `M` will yield a _shlos mem_, ם
+…, etc.
+
+Doublets (when YIVO transliteration corresponds to multiple Yiddish characters):
+
+- `t` will yield a _tes_, ט
+- `T` will yield a _tof_, תּ
+- `s` will yield a _samekh_, ס
+- `S` will yield a _sof_, ת
+- `W` will yield a _sin_, שׂ (`w` will yield a _shin_, ש)
+- `V` will yield a _veys_, בֿ (`v` will yield _tsvey vovn_, װ, as mentioned above)
+- `k` or `q` will yield a _kuf_, ק
+- `K` or `Q` will yield a _kof_, כּ
+
+Other letters will be less intuitive for those familiar with the YIVO system of transliteration, e.g., because it sometimes uses a combination of several Latin letters for a single Yiddish letter (e.g., צ is [ts]). These letters will need to be memorized:
+
+- `A` will yield a _shtumer alef_, א
+- `x` will yield a _khof_, כ (and `X` a _langer khof_, ך)
+- `H` will yield a _khes_, ח (`h` is just a _hey_, ה, as expected)
+- `c` will yield a _tsadek_, צ (and `C` a _langer tsadek_, ץ)
+- `w` will yield a _shin_, ש (and `W` a sin, שׂ)
+- `j` or `E` will yield _tsvey yudn_, ײ (a single Unicode character)
+- `y` will yield _pasekh tsvey yudn_, ײַ (two Unicode characters)
+- `O` or `Y` will yield _vov yud_, ױ (a single Unicode character)
+
+Letter combinations:
+
+- For זש type either `z` `w` or, as a shortcut, type `Z`
+- For דזש type either `d` `z` `w` or, as a shortcut, type `G` or `J` or `D`
+- For טש type either `t` `w` or, as a shortcut, type `R` (mnemonic: between the `t` and `w` on the keyboard)
