@evelineraine Yep, I'm aware of phonetic layouts. I don't think they are ergonomic enough and it doesn't solve the problem of having 7 more letters :)

The primary thing that concerning me is that dvorak has ',. in the top row and ; in the bottom, which are йцу and я in jcuken layout respectively. I don't really know what to do with it yet. One of the options is to move some far reaching dvorak letters to them and move punctation somewhere else. Hard to predict how it will affect the result.

@abcdw oh, right... extra letters. I should've really thought about it...
Shuffling them around would kinda break whichever optimization the layout has for the language.

My ideal-case scenario, anyway, was and still is, if i ever find time to work on it, something like Google input methods (e.g. what they use/used in google translate). Basically interpreting letter pairs for sounds, absent in English alphabet — like writing in transliteration.

Have you considered smth like this already?
