A YorubaName.org Project

Combined Igbo/Yorùbá Keyboard Layouts for Mac and Windows

In 2016, we made a tonemarking software for Yorùbá and Igbo available for free. It has been downloaded a few thousand times. To support the work we do at YorubaName.org, we have now added a little fee to be paid by all future users of the software. With this token, we will be able to improve on the product and continue to empower African languages on the internet.
