Here is the Somali keyboard layout for Windows

Far Soomaali's placement of consonants and vowels on the Keyboard corresponds with the
English Keyboard layout (QWERTY) that we are used to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY


...with the following exceptions.

Shiin (sh) = Shift + S
Kha (kh) = Shift + K
Dha (dh) = Shift + D

Long Vowels =
aa = Shift + A
ee = Shift + E
oo = Shift + O

Note: There are no letters ascribed to "V" and "P"

Also here's a PDF file of a Book Called "Afkeenna iyo Fartiisa" made in Xamar, 1971
which helps you in familiarizing yourself with the Far Soomaali Script.

You're welcome, glad I could help. The script can show up on other sites like Google, Abtirsi, Wikipedia etc.
The script can also be printed out and be sent via email, among other things.

Personally, I prefer the Kaddare script. It looks more aesthetically pleasing. Osmanya look like xabashi chicken-scratch.

But Somalis need they're own indigenous script. It is one of the markers of civilisation.

How's a subjective opinion bait?

I believe that it is better too. I certainly wouldn't call it chicken scribbles.

I suspected that you just wanted to praise the Hawiye script and shit on the MJ one for FKD points and to trigger the forum

 

[Prince Abubu]

I don't care which clan made the script, I'm not a tribalist.

 

[Striker]

No one uses osmaniya.
