Chantal Enguehard and Harouna Naroua presented a paper at the Sixth International Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'08) in Marrakech this past May entitled "Evaluation of Virtual Keyboards for West-African Languages."

 

They have been interested in evaluating keyboard layouts for African languages, and this effort focuses on how several do for languages of Niger. As such I understand this to be part of an ongoing (applied) research project.

 

One interesting feature is that they did a keystroke count for the layouts they evaluated for sample texts in the five main "national languages" of Niger.

 

I'm not aware that this article is available online, but if you'd like to see it, let them know (e-addresses in cc).
