Instructions for the Mbèlimè Keyboard:

There are two possibilities to mark tones and nasalization:

1. Press the vowel or nasal consonant, then the tone.
When it is a nasal vowel, press the vowel, then the tilde, and finally the tone. Always choose the tilde before the tone.

[e] + [◌́] = é
[ɛ] + [◌̰] = ɛ̰
[I] + [◌̰] + [◌̀] = Ḭ̀
[m] + [◌́] = ḿ

1. Long press the vowel or nasal consonant so that the list of possibilities appears. Choose the desired letter.

[[e]] = é è ê ë
[[ɛ]] = ɛ́ ɛ̀ ɛ̰ ɛ̰́ ɛ̰̀
