Usem Ibibio ke ñkpọ utañ ikọ mfo. Ibibio on your phone. This keyboard types every Ibibio letter (ọ ị ʌ ñ) and all five tones.

+ +

1. The keyboard at a glance (phone)

+ + +

2. Golden rule: letter first, then tone

+

Type the vowel (or m, n, ñ), then tap ˊˋ. Keep tapping to change the tone:

+ + + + + + + + +
Taps on ˊˋTonea becomes
1highá
2lowà
3fallingâ

6no tonea

Not sure of a tone? Leave it off. Untoned Ibibio is still correct Ibibio; tones make it clearer.

+ +

4. Word suggestions (predictive text)

+

Install the Ibibio Tonal dictionary and the keyboard suggests fully tone-marked words while you type plain letters: type abasi, get Àbàsì.

+ + +

5. Computer keyboard
