Nias for AnySoftKeyboard

Nias language addon for AnySoftKeyboard
NOTE: Please install AnySoftKeyboard along with this one. This package contains only Nias dictionary

Nias language pack contains keyboard layouts with Nias characteristics, i.e. with characters ö (to the right of letter l) and ŵ (to the right of the letter p) as well as the frequently used apostroph key (to the right of ö) .

In addition there is now a special keyboard layout for Wiki writing/editing for people who write a lot on Nias Wikipedia/Wiktionary (the most used codes are available on the top row).

The spelling dictionary has over 10,000 words. It was built on word-list created from an unpublished translation of the New Testament by Fr. Hadrian Hess and Yulius Lahagu.

For improving the word frequency rate, additional words scrapped from Sura Ni'amoni'ö by jw.org (https://www.jw.org/nia/publikasi/sura-niamonio/) were used.
