Why do 5+ million people need an online Buginese keyboard? Buginese (Basa Ugi) is spoken by 5 million people in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Most computers don't have Buginese keyboards installed.

The Buginese Latin alphabet includes special letters for sounds not in standard Latin: ŋ/Ŋ (eng, the 'ng' sound), ñ/Ñ (ny sound), ə/Ə (schwa vowel), and the glottal stop ('). These are essential for accurate Buginese spelling.
