DESCRIPTION:In a world dominated by digital communication and the drive tow
 ard linguistic unification\, the simple act of 'typing' varies significant
 ly across languages and writing systems. For European languages like Engli
 sh and German\, typing typically involves a set of about 100 letters and s
 ymbols. In contrast\, Japanese—and by extension\, Okinawan—requires th
 ree distinct scripts: hiragana\, katakana\, and kanji. Each of these adds 
 layers of complexity and cultural depth to written expression.\n\nThis pre
 sentation delves into the development of an input method engine (IME) for 
 Okinawan\, an endangered language spoken in Japan's Ryukyuan archipelago. 
 Moving beyond technical challenges\, this project reveals how modern digit
 al ‘calligraphy’ intersects with language preservation. Every keystrok
 e becomes a deliberate cultural choice\, as the IME reflects the aesthetic
  and linguistic essence of Okinawan language.\n\nHighlighting linguistic e
 xpression\, cultural significance\, and the urgent need for language prese
 rvation\, this talk presents a model for future digital tools that empower
  endangered languages and cultures to thrive in the digital realm.
