The Bote Keyboard allows users to type the Bote language using the Devanagari script (since Bote does not have its own unique script). It maps specific Bote phonetic sounds to Devanagari characters, often including unique combinations or modifiers to represent sounds not standard in Nepali or Hindi Devanagari.
| Bote Sound | Devanagari | Key Combination | |------------|------------|------------------| | ɖ (voiced retroflex plosive) | ड | d + Shift or D | | ɖʰ (aspirated) | ढ | dh or special key | | ʈ (voiceless retroflex) | ट | t + Shift | | ʈʰ | ठ | th + Shift | | nasalized vowels | ँ (chandrabindu) | Shift + ~ then vowel |
