List of Latin-script keyboard layouts
open-in-new
<p><a href="/facts/QWERTY/0DCjXEa9">QWERTY</a>, along with its direct derivatives such as <a href="/facts/QWERTZ/ck3JNW6T">QWERTZ</a> and <a href="/facts/AZERTY/6aYkBXuK">AZERTY</a>, is the primary <a href="/facts/Keyboard_layout/6aYkBXuK">keyboard layout</a> for the <a href="/facts/Latin_alphabet/pqWVHpBz">Latin alphabet</a>. However, there are also keyboard layouts that do not resemble QWERTY very closely, if at all. Some of these are used for languages[<i>which?</i>] where QWERTY may be unsuitable.[<i>why?</i>] Others are specially designed to reduce finger movement and are claimed by some proponents to offer higher typing speed along with <a href="/facts/Ergonomics/prAcGtDW">ergonomic</a> benefits. </p>
