The Balinese language is spoken by about 1 million people in daily life on Bali and some neighboring islands, so it’s hardly endangered. Temple sign in Balinese and Latin scripts Balinese is an interesting example of these languages and scripts. Projects such as Wikipedia are aiming to support hundreds if not thousands of languages, and the lack of fonts and keyboards is a big obstacle. However, there are hundreds more scripts in the world, and users want to use them on their computers – because they’re the normal way their languages are written, or because they want to document and study them. Why Balinese on iOS? Language and writing system support in iOS has grown over the years, and iOS 9 provides at least one font and keyboard for quite a few scripts: Arabic, Bengali, Cherokee, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan – and of course emoji.This article discusses how to implement fonts and keyboards for a complex writing system for iOS, based on my experience developing the app.
