About East Asian Languages

East Asia encompasses some of the world's most widely spoken languages and most sophisticated writing systems. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean together are spoken by over 1.5 billion people, and their writing systems β€” Hanzi (Chinese characters), Kana (Japanese syllabaries), and Hangul (Korean alphabet) β€” represent distinct approaches to linguistic representation developed over millennia. East Asian keyboards require Input Method Editors (IMEs) because the number of characters far exceeds what can fit on a standard keyboard. AnyKeyboard provides browser-based IME functionality so you can compose Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text without any software installation.
