Sami Letters
In North and Lule Sámi we use some letters that require that you add a new keyboard setting on your PC:
– North Sámi: á š ŧ ŋ đ ž č
– Lule Sámi: á ŋ
In Windows you add a new keyboard this way:
– Control Panel
– Time, Language and Region
– Region and Language
– Change keyboard and indatamethods
– Keyboard and language
– Change keyboards
– Add
– North Sami, Norway OR Lule Sami, Norway
– Ok
A box for language selection is shown on the bottom of your screen. There you can choose SM (Sámi) instead of your language. Then you can write the sámi letters.
You find the letters on these places on the keyboard:
You can easily switch between the different keyboards by holding down Alt while pressing Shift.
